Lil Wayne Expected To Sell A Milli In The First Week?

carter3

Despite his album leaking and the music industry suffering from an overall decline in sales, some experts are expecting Wayne to sell a million in his first week. Last week, Tha Carter III leaked. Everyone knows what they have on their hands: the first pure hip-hop classic of 2008.

Full Story: MTV

Damn MTV make it sounds like the second coming of Christ LOL. Damn already calling it a pure classic, hmmm.  I think the sales on this album will tell you the pulse of Hip Hop album sales, this is suppose to be as big as it can get in terms of hype and expected sales.

But damn a Milli…..

Too much hype? = na will prolly be the most antisipated album this year.
Good Album? = yes
Classic = hell no
Personally C2 was better I’d put this album on the same level as trilla imo

I think he will probably sell like 500-600K the first week cause he get so much radio play. They just keep playing his songs over and over.

500,000 people would buy it just cause he is the hot right now, but to sell 1 MILLION on THE FIRST WEEK! that means you gotta have people really feeling your music. We’ll see though.

Umm.. Hello people…

Look at the writing on the wall for what it is..

FACT : Lil Wayne’s fanbase is officially been received from 50 Cent/Eminem. Their base was young white girls from ages 12-30. Now that they are basically falling off from being Pop Artists, look whos sitting to take their place..

This has nothing todo with Lyrics, or how good the artist is but everything todo with the people who like whats on the radio.

We might as well call the years 2007-2008 ” The Auto-Tune Era. ” As long as the radio keeps pumpin out these tracks with tuning on them, this will continue.

He could easily sell 1 million the first week. Think about it.. At least his MAIN fan base will buy 500,000 copies, to me if Ricky Ross can sell almost 400,000 - 500,000 in two weeks, then Wayne can double those numbers.. Watch.

Also.. CDs leaking do not have an effect on Record Sales. I wish people would stop saying that.. It has nothing todo with it. If you put together a quality album than it will do well sales wise. And whos to say him selling maybe 4-5 million is a failure, that’s huge for him.

Lil Wayne is the biggest thing in hip hop right now after KanYe, but he doesnt do 50 numbers and def not doing EMINEM numbers…700,000-770,000 the first week if hes lucky.

SAM GOT A GOOD POINT. THEY WOULD BUY IT BECAUSE HIS NAME BUZZING STILL IN THE STREETS AND MAINSTREAM GOT LOVE FOR HIM NOW. AND HIS HOME TOWN PEEPS WILL BUY 10 COPIES PER PERSON TO MAKE SURE HE GETS CLOSE TO THE NUMBERS.
SWAY FROM MTV HAS SAID HIMSELF HE GOT TO PUT OUT A CLASSIC ALBUM TO GET THE FULL PROPS.
SO, WE WILL SEE.
THAT MR CARTER TRACK IS GOOD I MUST ADMIT. JAY AND HIM DID A GOOD TRACK THERE.
FUNNY HOW THE DJS ARE STARTING TO REPLY TO LIL WAYNES COMMENT AND ALL AND DJ DRAMA DISMISSED THE DJ COMMENT WAYNE MADE AS IF HE DID NOT SAY IT.
WONDER IF THAT WILL CAUSE A RIFT IN THE DJ COMMUNITY THAT GIVE HIM SPINS. THE DJ’S HURT YOUNG BUCK SPINS WHEN HE KICKED A DJ ASS, SO WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY MIGHT DO.
OH WELL,
PEACE AND GOD BLESS.

He aint goin past 500,000 copies. Maybe even 600,000. He would sell more if a rapper like Jay or Luda came out the same day. Aint no classic people. Just a good solid album. Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic, American Gangster, Release Therapy were classics. This aint.

Smart Black Man wrote on June 3rd, 2008 at 5:01 pm

key word: INTERNET. Folks aren’t buying albums. Even the best selling rappers aren’t getting #s like that (Ye, 50, Jay-Z). ALSO, folks forget Wanye doesn’t sell records. He makes FREE mixtapes. All of his CD leaked. Like 150,000 will buy it for the CD book. He’ll go 500,000 by Christmas. Dude is not gonna sell a mill. The album is actually okay thanks the production, but its no where near classic. he should stop that “Carter” mess and get MORE creative and consistant.

Mic Sorc wrote on June 3rd, 2008 at 5:46 pm

He aint selling a mill. Kanye had to work his a$$ off to sell that much in a week. Ye would put on a phenomenal concert tour, then appeared on SNL, 106th and Park, whatever before Graduation came out. Lil Wayne is not putting together anthems. he’s putting out songs that are easy to remember. big difference. He wont have a stadium chanting his lyrics.
On another note, Wayne fans have gotten so use to downloading his mixtapes for the past few years, are they really gonna go out and buy an album? that would break a downloaders cardinal rule. phuckouttahere. when it comes to personality, the dude is wack as fuck. i guarentee if he didnt make music and yall just saw him on the street, talking the same way he does and acting the way he does, you’d wanna beat the fuck out of him. Dude is not a marketable character, he’s just recognizable. He should get shot for that verse he dropped on Ushers remix. i mean, he’s constantly in the studio and i give him credit for that. but only person who thinks Wayne is gonna go for a million sales is Lil Wayne and whoever he’s kissing over at MTV. If he sells a million albums in the stores his first week, I would personally let Bill Gates slap his balls on my forehead on ABC during halftime of the NBA Championship game. and thats real. the fact that he has such a high status level in todays music and media industry says alot ourselves as consumers of entertainment. we’re fuckin stupid and have dumbed down. put his little gremlin looking ass in the game when hiphop was really hiphop and he wouldve been serving fries with Skee-Lo, Dylon, Chopper, and Coolio.

Mic Sorc wrote on June 3rd, 2008 at 5:51 pm

I’m not a hater, okay, well maybe i am. but come on, yo. if you’ve been listening to hiphop for a minimum of 10 years, you’d have to see, this is some bullshit, man. he’s not the greatest, we just dont have much to pick from these days. I hate dennys and waffle house, but 3-4am on the way back from the club, thats all i have to choose from. Lil Wayne is the Waffle House of hiphop. He’s everywhere, you go to him when your musically hungry, but deep down inside, you wish you had something better and healthier for you musical appetite.

Agree 39, numbers dont make it a classic but if majority of your fans hear your album 2 weeks before it drop and a million people still go out and give you $13… I say its classic. Shit Gas over $4 a gallon and I gotta use premium in my shit so albums are not priority lately but I am coppin this shit. When Jay-z dropped RD, the internet wasnt popping like it is now and Hov never went through 2 yrs of getting shit leaked and putting out a double disc classic mixtape in D3.

Y’all crazy if you think he’ll do A Mill the first week. Not even the biggest stars with loyal fanbase out there sell that many records but Wayne is supposed to be able to do that??? C’mon now that ain’t happening. If Wayne’s lucky to sell 300 then he should be very happy. I’d say he sell around 250 the first week.

WHITE BREAD TASTE GOOD WITH WHITE MEAT........CHICAGO wrote on June 3rd, 2008 at 8:15 pm

It depend on what type of song lil wayne put out that may make the album go plat depending on if it a hit song or not. I mean if lil wayne bring out all hit from his album then he will go plat. And if there not then he will go gold and so far some of the song that he brought out are not really big hits but there good. And because of that i don’t think he will go plat instead he may go gold. And just because they play his song alot on the radio doesn’t mean he will go plat. I mean that make it even worst cuz that make it eazier to bootleg half of the good song that people already want to hear. And then it gonna get to a certain point where certain song will get played out on the radio to and that bad for the artist and there album. Because thre album not only get bootlegged but then the song get played out. And that give bootlegger another chance to bootleg the 2 song from the album wheather it get leak or they just found another way to bootleg the album. And that why alot of album don’t sell and that what happening to lil wayne album it may not sell dew to bootleg. I mean most people who be hatin on lil wayne saying that they don’t listen to his music be frontin. I mean they know good and well they be listening to him. And they be the same fans who would bootleg a lil wayne album then play dumb like they don’t know why his album didn’t sell knowing good and well they bootleggd the album. I mean i can tell by a person who is telling the truth about lil wayne album then a person who is being unhonest and unappreciative toward lil wayne album. But in the end the truth will come out of all you lil wayne hater who are lying about what they think toward lil wayne album. I mean i can tell that lil wayne has put his heart into this album and im thinking to myself how much heart do you want him to put into this album before you like and appreciate it or are ya’ll just hatin. But like they say once a hater alway a hater and for some it’s first come hate then come faith and at the end people are gonna start appreciating lil wayne album once it blow up period.

Why do people give prediction on an album if they really don’t know what there talkin about who care about your prediction. I mean most people who give pridiction are alway wrong unless you know what your talking about. And then it kill for those who once was a fan of lil wyne all of a sudden ya’ll hate him. And that what i mean when i say how fan are confused on what type of music they like. I mean if your a fan of lil wayne then stick to being a fan. And for me i think the worstest think a rapper could do if they make a mistake on there album is to listen to what a fan has to say about what they think toward a rapper album. And that if they had that chance because im learning from these website filled with multiple dumb blog who leave dumb comment are confusing themselve about what they think as if they know what a album suppose to sound like.

Yeah but Lil Wayne ain’t Usher. You not gonna sell A mill album only because you have a big hit song. Usher is a superstar and couldn’t do a A mill, Wayne ain’t no superstar. He doesn’t have that many fans that he’ll be able to sell A mill in one week that’s crazy. The biggest and most popular artists don’t sell that many albums anymore but you guys think Lil Wayne of all people is going to do that because he has a big hit song on the radio? Reality check: Wayne ain’t never gonna do one million albums in the 1 week. It’s not about being a hater its about being realistic and that’s something that the wayne fanboyz don’t understand.

if the album hadn’t been put on the internet to down load for free then i would kind of believe it. why? so many people have been waiting for this album and of course they would have ran and brought it. but since getting it free and listening to it plus reading different comments on line i don’t know if it will come close to a mill

wayne will sell about 800k, and the album has some hits and misses. “Phone home” is amazing.

I’d be pissed if I was plies or anyone else droppin on 6×10 day. Just the fact that its an argument that this nigga can sale a mill in a week is crazy. Other people lookin at 100k or less that first week. Leaking his album was going to happen no matter what. It normally happens 2 weeks before your release and if your lucky and on top of shit then it happens a week before.

Either way fans, stans, and haters get a chance to hear your music before they pay for it. Funny thing is I see a lot of comments where people gonna buy the album because the DJ that leaked did it out of hate and wanted to prove a point. It could potentially work in waynes favor.

Hahahahaha….I’ve said it before and I’ll sat it again. There are a lot of delusional wayne fans out there. I can’t wait to see what you have to say when wayne does FAR from a million copies. A huge star like Alicia Keys sold 742 000 first week and that was damn good but Wayne is going to sell a million? Give me a fucking break.

NAW I THINK WAYNE WILL SELL LIKE CLOSE TO 500K THE 1ST WEEK ITS JUST TO HARD TO GET THOSE TYPE OF SALES THE 1ST WEEK AND MTV IS ON THAT GLASS PIPE 4 REAL!!! THE CARTER 3 IS NOT AND I REAPEAT NOT A CLASSIC I WOULD SAY THE CATER 2 WAS A CLASSIC CUZ THAT CAME FROM NOWHERE THE NIGGA WAS HITTING U WIT METAPHORS AND CRAZY SWAG….IF YOU LISTEN TO HOW WAYNE SPIT ON C2 TO C3 IS A BIG DIFFERENCE .. I FEEL LIKE ON C3 SOME TRACKS HE WAS JUST FREESTYLE’N… BUT WITH THAT SAID C3 IS NOT WACK ITS JUST A STEP DOWN FROM HIS LAST SHIT IF YOU ASK ME

ok stop saying classic.

when was the last GREAT mainstream hip-hop album?

answer that.

then ask, can carter 3 live up to those recent great albums.

don’t compare it to jay’z 1st, or nas’s 1st.

is it great to what’s relevant right now?

i hope

Lil Wayne is one of my fav. rappers, but this isnt a classic album…Just another album bumpin his career up…Lil Wayne is being hated by alotta people, his voice sounds hilarious, he is mad cocky, & is a retard, but every single rapper, all of ur favorite rappers want Weezy on they songs…They know Lil Wayne has potential to take over if he already hasnt…& as for all those sayin that Weezy’s mixtape shit is the best & his album his trash, yall pretty much still givin Lil Wayne mad head cuzz the mixtape songs were sposed to be on his album, but they leaked…Lil Wayne has already sold near 200,000 copies in 2 days…i’d say he says 800-900K…He doing his thing…& yes Jay-Z sed it himself, he passed the torch on to Lil Wayne…Weezy owns the game right now…He doin his thing…Mr. Carter rockin errybody stereo right now…Jay-Z know Lil Wayne got it…no question…He may not be the best lyricist, but Lil Wayne is owning music right now…point, blank, period.

C3 is cool, not better than C2 because on C2 you could listen to all the tracks straight through but on the C3 you have to skip to the hot tracks and i don’t like that about it. Lil weezy is still my fav. rapper and the C3 is hot. He
’s gonna be real close to a Mili.
