Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III Hits 1Million Sales

Billboard reported today that Tha Carter III is the first album since 50 Cent’s 2005 LP The Massacre to sell more than 1 million copies in a single week!

He had this to say about his fantastic success to MTV News in his ever so humble way:

“Thank you, that’s it. [I'm] just very grateful, that’s it. Blown away, of course. Surprised, of course. Elated. Every positive word there is.”

He went on to add:

“I wasn’t trippin’ about this,” he said when talking about his numbers. “I didn’t have no expectations. That’s not only with music, [that's] period. You shouldn’t expect anything. You never know what could happen.”

Wayne starts his Carter III tour on June 27. He also told MTV News that he and T-Pain will be forming a super group!

He gave a shout out for his fans:

“What’s poppin’, MTV. It’s Weezy F. Baby, and I just wanna thank everybody out there for making Tha Carter III the #1 album in the country. Thank you.”

Congrats Weezy!
