THA CARTER IV SELLS..... 760,918 copies

[KP404]

No it's about both. Wayne has the sales and the "streets". Nobody is playing Eminem in clubs or on urban radio. To be "king" of hip hop you need both.

I don't what you are talking about or where you've been, but are misinformed and biased.

Oh wait, you were being serious.

There really isn't any difference but time and genre. Motown artists were on drugs, chris browing hoes, bosses stealing money from artists, etc. Same shit, different year

Misinformed? Not in the least. First of the King of Rap is subjective and honestly doesn't matter but anybody who has been considered the King or at the top, did both simultaneously. From Pac to Biggie, to Jay to 50 back to Jay to now Wayne. Billboard doesn't decide the "King". It's not about total agreement it's about consensus. And hip hop is still the only genre where the people still matter as far the consensus. That's the reason why artist like Jada who doesn't sell shit, still gets high profile guest spots. Waynes album is a prime example of the people still mattering. Do you really think Universal wanted Tech 9Ne or Shyne on one of the biggest releases of the year? They would have much rathered Nicki Minaj all over the CD...I'm not speaking on speculation I'm speaking on experience and knowledge.

Do you think Universal wanted Styles P on the biggest hip hop single of last year "BMF"? No..they wanted to cut him out the song but Ross was against it. Though they have a big say about whats on top sales wise, the mainstream does not control who's on top status wise.

I don't know, but it looks like alot more of us need to if we're gonna be successful in our campaign against Wayne.

 

[Dark Gable]

Exactly.

 

[peter8381714]

Always glad to see a black man successful in America.

With that said:

Wayne sucks

I said this alien bastard jeggin wearing fucks sucks baby bought those shits also fuck him and his blood gang oh yeah if he is in a gang he is discracing black people so fuck him and all gang members

 

[tuckdog]

Good job lil nigga. Haters gone hate.

[tuckdog]

Nigga, record sales does not make you the king of hip hop. Just means your shit appeals to more than just hip hop fans.

Bingo

Same here.

They ran the same thing they did with C3. Coppin' tons of units themselves helps to fuel this "Wayne is the best" talk.

And Birdman owns the label, so all the bread comes right back to him anyway. He's only payin' Universal for P&D. So why not just cop mad copies from iTunes? It's digital. Smart move, but far from honest. They almost HAD to do that to save Weezy's career.

ok but, explain WTT -56% drop.

 

[BronxBomber]

Glad the young brothers are doing it but when people talking about the streets Im thinking what streets? lol

Street anthems are just that, street.
This is Pop music.
Lil Wayne is a pop icon and Im proud even though I cant stand his music, cause well he has made his way.

Where is the evidence that he bought the albums? C3 is still on the charts right now, is Baby still buying them? I mean seriously whether we like it or not Wayne is one of the hottest music acts on the planet coming off a million plus first week album, 2 platinum by his signees, and a jail stint why is it so hard to believe dude can push 700?

 

[shaddyvillethug]

i saw projections go from 600+ to 700+ to 975+ in a matter of days.

You the one said Jay hurt his sales at the awards....dude damn near doubled Watch the Throne's first week.I told you that last week, dude is the hottest out right now, Beyonce being pregnant wasn't going to mean shit. Jay-Z demographic Waynes demographic are not the same.

Lil Wayne's 'Carter IV' Debuts at No. 1 With 964,000 Sold

September 06, 2011

By Keith Caulfield (@keith_caulfield), Los Angeles

http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/indu...arter-iv-debuts-at-no-1-with-1005340572.story


It's official: Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV" has sold 964,000 in its first week according to Nielsen SoundScan, easily enabling its No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 chart. It is his third No. 1 album following "Tha Carter III" and "I Am Not a Human Being."

"Carter IV" earns the biggest sales week for a hip-hop album (or any set by a male artist), since his own "Carter III" bowed with 1.01 million on the June 28, 2008 chart. "Carter IV" also marks 2011's second-biggest frame, behind Lady Gaga's 1.11 million debut with "Born This Way."

Of course, Gaga's first week was bolstered by two days' worth of 99-cent sale pricing from AmazonMP3's store. "Carter IV" managed to sell nearly a million without such tactics. It's estimated that AmazonMP3 sold upwards of 440,000 downloads of its 99-cent "Born This Way" album.

Speaking of downloads, "Carter IV" shifted 362,000 digital copies in its first week. That marks the second-largest digital sales week of all time for an album; again, behind "Born This Way," with 662,000 downloads.

However, while SoundScan does not disclose retailer-specific figures, sources say "Carter" easily broke the U.S. iTunes Store's single-week album sales record, with around 345,000 sold via iTunes.

Lil Wayne Beats 'Watch the Throne' -- 'Carter IV' Breaks iTunes Single-Week Album Sales Record

"Tha Carter IV" is off to a fast start courtesy of both a hot single and an eve-of-release performance by Wayne on the highly rated MTV Video Music Awards telecast (Aug. 28). His "How to Love" single is his first top 10 hit as a lead artist on the Pop Songs chart since 2008 when "Lollipop" ("Tha Carter III's" first single) went to No. 5. "Love" is in fact only his second top 10 on the Pop Songs tally, after "Lollipop."

Also, figure that the "Carter" name brand carries weight with fans, much in the same way the word "blueprint" makes Jay-Z aficionados take notice. He's had three "Blueprint" albums to date: All debuted at No. 1 with over 400,000 sold in their respective first weeks.

A full recap of the week's top 10 selling albums and digital songs will follow tomorrow morning.
