Big Sales for Lil Wayne’s ‘Tha Carter III’
Yesterday we mentioned that Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III was on track to have this year’s best first-week sales total, topping Mariah Carey’s 463,000-copy debut week for E=MC2. Turns out that total is estimated to be between 850,000 and 950,000 copies, according to EW–an astonishing number in a year that’s seen nothing but doldrums sales-wise , and a big hint as to why “carter iii lyrics” is such a hot item on Google Trends right now. Meanwhile, 2007 sales champ Kanye West is egging on his blog readers to push Wayne over the million mark. If it works, I’m sure every other blogger out there will claim credit.
