Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III becomes the first album in more than three years to sell a million copies in a week. The opus sold 1,006,000 copies to debut at #1 on Nielsen/SoundScan's list of the best-selling albums in the U.S. That's the biggest sales week since another rap album, 50 Cent's The Massacre, bowed at #1 in March 2005 with sales of 1,141,000.
With downloads, cd's on the street, and and the ability to burn cd's, I thought people would stop buying. But you've got to admit Lil Wayne's swag is oooohhh so deep. Even Kanye West fell short with his latest, Graduation, in 2007 with sales of 957,000.
And you gotta love the Lollipop video:
