Who would’ve known Lil Wayne would be in the position of power he is in right now? I am sure he did not have this planned out last year when he started putting his name and face everywhere in the mixtape and hip-hop circuit.
What did that lead to? A cool 2.88 Million in Album sales for Tha Carter III, 3.1 Million song downloads for Lollipop, 267,000 digital album sales… What!!! Looks like Weezy is Louisianimal. Not only did he do that well, no one, nor no group sold more than him according to Nielsen Soundscan. I can tell you this much though, Formula 50 is hatin’ like a muh-fucka.
The stats:
- Lil Wayne – Tha Carter III – 2.88M
- Cold Play – Viva La Vida – 2.15M
- Taylor Swift – Fearless – 2.11M
- Kid Rock – Rock N Roll Jesus – 2M
- AC/DC – Black Ice – 1.92M
