Putting Kanye To Shame

We told you guys that Lil’ Wayne‘s new album was supposed to do well out the gates.

Well, it’s done EVEN BETTER than expected!

The numbers are in and …..

The rapper’s Tha Carter III sold just over one million copies its debut week, easily making it the #1 album in America.

In this day and age, NO ONE sells that much anymore.

The last album to open at a million plus was three years ago, with 50 Cent‘s The Massacre.

So congratulations to Lil Wayne.

Don’t blow all your money on cough syrup!
