Thats good second week numbers but its a huge drop from 960,000 i tell you that much which makes me believes he really did like 5 or 600,000 the fisrt week really… but what does he care what I think he’s making more money than me.
XXXXX

Good to see pop album doing so well

  these copies were bought by the illuminati. Mainly to let stupid youngsters and grown up morons think: platinum artist/album = good
  
  they keep tryin to manipulate you! Stand in formation my motherfucking real troopers, dont let them brainwash you. Dont buy this unsubstantial wack and fake piece of bullshit unless you are a whiny sissy who likes wannabe bloods who wear lady pants
raw.

Huge drop :O but i guess all the fans bought it asap.

  He ain’t going double plat in at least two more months… That’s it. He’s gonna drop to under 150K by next week.

So I guess this almost proves that Bawka-bi-kaw is buying Weezy’s albums just in the first week.

Damn I hope Game goes to YMCM label – his Documentary sales will look like chump change next to his new album.

    50 cent get rich or die trying- 800,000 first week- 750,000 second week
    
    eminem- recovery 750,000 first week 600,000 second week
    
    I could go on but you get the point it happens more often then you think.
    
    Eminem over 150 mil sold worldwide- lil wayne 8 million sold worldwide- please stop the comparision
    Carter 4 wont sale ove of what recovery sold so far.
    - raw.
      
      Nice, the longevity of these other succeses are waay beyond wayne’s one week records.

      its funny how you keep bringing up these old ass albums except for recovery. And do the Math. Recoverys numbers are almost identical in the 2nd weeks sales next to c4.
      
      When is the last time Wayne went overseas? Thats the reason his worldwide sales arent great.
      
      Milli in a week, Weezy the Goat.

        Why does it matter how old the album is you said no one ever sales close to what they sold the first week but history proves you wrong every time. Im pretty sure its more current albums that have but I havent done the research but I wont mind doing in it.
        
        When I said Carter 4 wont sale as much as recovery I meant total sales.
        
        And Eminem stopped touring in the U.S. in 2006 so your argument is flawed. yeah he does small shows but when is the last time you seen him on tour in the U.S. the one with him and jay-z don’t count it was only 2 city’s.

  No.. Artist usually have somewhere of a 45-60% drop from first to second week sales.. This was almost 80%

label bought a good amount of records…i say his REAL #’s in the first week were 600,000 max cause from 900,000 to 200,000 is NOT a valid decrease thats almost 80%

  you dumbass spook, its illegal for labels to buy albums. You just salty.

    it’s illegal to buy cocaine…people still do it
    
    labels have been buyin albums for years shit head…now take ya jeggings off and go watch the vma performance with your lil wayne teddy bear u back to belly fag
raw.

but yeah, lets not forget selling 960k first week is Huge. Wayne fans are just more eager to get the album fast. And i dont think this album will last long in sales because we all know what to expect of it. People that havent bought the album wont change their mind.

I pirated the one I DL’d for my girl. Take that Birdman.

It wasnt worth the CDR that I wasted burning it to.

She stopped listening to it already. Fuck 2nd weeks sales. It dosnt even get 2nd weeks SPINS. In my GIRLS truck. Shes back listening to OTHER whack R&B shit now.

Bawk A Baw needs to put out BG new album. I’d actually enjoy that one.

Waynes last couple freestyles were nice tho. He’s still got some talent. His CDs are just sub par to me. And Drake is totally whack.
TGIF

let the hate begin lol, why hate on another man eating. Oh my bad nigga panties in a bunch cause yo favorite rapper not selling like weezy.

  Typical Wayne c-ck smoker. “Your rapper don’t sell line Weezy, blah blah,” As you see deeznutz pointed out just on about EVERY Wayne thread that 50 Cent has outsold your lady pant wearing Weezy. Also one of the GOATs, Eminem outsold Weezy past, present, and future… It is not hard to understand that shit… To top it off 50 and Eminem albums had a consistent flow of album sales from week one to week two, unlike this piece of shit album that goes from 900k+ first week to alittle over 150k lol. You get the picture.
  
  @Jim, as deeznutz already had stated, Eminem has stopped touring years ago and his Recovery Album stayed consistent… Get your facts str8 f-ck boy. Lets see Wayne’s Tha C4 sell much more albums. HIGHLY DOUBT it haha!

Lil Wayne is not the goat, how you fags can say that is beyond me. That means greatest of all time if you were unaware. I can name 30 other rappers without thinking about it, who are better rappers than Wayne. Ya’ll are victims of mainstream, it’s sad, and truly is depressing. I hope you see the light one day.

Weezy F Baby da GOAT!
