Lil' Wayne Cracks A Millie
Boo Goo Doo Boom — Well, well, well...look at what we have here. According to Billboard , Baby's baby sold a million copies of his long awaited, overlyhyped, but still nice album Tha Carter III . The first-week million sales mark is a feat that hasn't been attained by any rap artist since 50 Cent's The Massacre back in '05. Wayne quintupled his sales debut for Carter II and surpassed Kanye West's first week numbers for last year's Graduation . Right now, it's fair to say that critical reaction to the album is mixed. Some are claiming that it's a classic or close to it , I think it's good but no where near classic status, and ...

Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter III” Goes Platinum After One Week
Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily — In an age where albums struggle to sell a million copies in their lifespan, Lil Wayne’s much-anticipated and ultra-hyped Tha Carter III has gone platinum in one week of release, becoming the first album since 2005 to top a million units in its debut week. 50 Cent’s The Massacre was the last album to do so back in March 2005. In 2006, no album sold more than 800,000 in a week, and only Kanye West’s Graduation managed to crack 900,000 last year. Tha Carter III fared much better than its predecessor, as the Tha Carter II only sold ...
