Mind you, this is HITS.

Official soundscan numbers tomorrow.

Billboard said it would be around 900K or so.

Why Lord...why?

Soundscan is reporting 964,000. Off by a few thousand. That's gotta be a stinker.

Thought so.

That album was terrible carter 2 and 3 are my favorites.

And he pulled this off w/o selling it for 99cents.

How many did Watch The Throne get it's first week?

It had way more hype than Carter 4.

But hey, props to Weezy though.

I don't think it did.

Motivation+I'm On One+How To Love have the radio on lockdown right now.

I know only one of those tracks is on his album but it doesn't matter. Wayne is getting at least like 60% of the airtime on any hiphop/pop station

Yeah, Wayne has been killing radio on different formats. Good strategy if you ask me. They knew full well that "How To Love" would perform well on multi-formats, Pop/Urban/Rhythmic. "I'm On One" was a no-brainer for Urban Radio (I know its a DJ Khalid track, he still benefited from it). "She Will" feat. Drake is already getting love on Urban radio too.

On another note: Wayne is really feeling himself though. Why does he feel the need to go after Jay-Z though? You're literally on top right now.

It's as if a Hip Hop artist can't have their time to shine without trying outshine the last artist who once outshone them. (If that makes any sense). Why? Just enjoy your current popularity and ride it out man. Get yo money mane! I don't see the need to claim "The Best Rapper Alive" status. These so-called titles are truly ridiculous to me. I know Hip Hop is mad competitive but damn. Why I don't see Country artist claiming to be king?

Maybe Country artistss don't know the words to "Pants on the ground."

I also didn't know Red Hot Chilli Peppers had a new CD out. I love the RHCP, and because I'm a bassist, Flea is my dude! I'd rather listen to them than a Lil Wayne record. They are still keeping the funk alive and are doing more to preserve the quality of Black music, than Wayne' shuck and jive ass does. And before somebody goes there, I am Black.

good for him . not as many catchy hooks like tha carter III. i'll have to give it another chance
