US Billboard Chart: Lil Wayne’s ‘The Carter IV’ Certified Platinum

Published: Wednesday 14th Sep 2011 by David

It may have missed out on moving 1 million copies in the first week of its release by a few thousand units, but anyone who  thought the success of Lil Wayne‘s ‘The Carter IV‘ would falter in the charts in its second week may have to reconsider their stance as of today.

The LP is now #1 for a second week on the Billboard 200 and is now enjoying Platinum status.

More information below…

With 219,000 copies sold in the last US chart week, the Rap album remains at #1 for a second week further cementing its status as the highest selling album of its genre this year.

At #2 is Adele with ‘21′, which continues to average around the 100,000 sold per week figure. Moving 120,000 units this week it resides four chart positions above Jay Z and Kanye West‘s ‘Watch The Throne‘.

In at #9 is ‘4’ by Beyonce with total sales this week of 25,000 units.

    Congratulations Baby, you’ve got your boyfriend a number 1 album.

  2. aisha aguilera keys September 14, 2011

    Woah! Congrats, Weezy, I’m impressed! Some albums have been out longer than his’s yet still haven’t gone platinum, whilst this one went platinum in less than a month! And I’m no Weezy fan!

  3. maria September 14, 2011

    its funny how his last two albums didn’t sell like this but all of a sudden when Watch the Throne comes Wayne sells this much? I’m sorry but his album sucks, its straight trash.

  4. JER September 14, 2011

    Adele still slaying. BeYAWNce still 4lopping

  5. RETURN OF THE GREAT LACEFRONCE. September 14, 2011

    Lil Wayne sold almost a million in his first week without selling his SHITE CD for $.99 like T***** Caca.This proves what THE GREAT LACEFRONCE said all along,that Caca is a GIMMICK just like BLEACHonce. 😉

    THE GREAT LACEFRONCE has spoken.

  6. aisha aguilera keys September 14, 2011

    I have a feeling that a lot of these Pop singers are hit with the 4th album curse. It started w/ Aguilera (Bionic) and it continues with B’s 4. Their fourth albums just don’t sell. More? Riri’s Rated R.

  7. RETURN OF THE GREAT LACEFRONCE. September 14, 2011

    Oh and

    4closure = FLOP

    Its been 2 months and The H** still has yet to sell 1 million copies.BLEACHonce is STRUGGLING.

    BLEACHonce = Washed Up!

    THE GREAT LACEFRONCE has spoken.

    Watch the throne indeed…go Weezy!

    He must be laughing considering that Jay Z diss. Well props to him and congrats to Adele as always!

    Adele does not snatch wigs, she scalps b******.

    As for Beyonce um..okay well this album is a bust. Pretty bad for her. Oh well, she’s got a baby to care for so she can pretend 4 never happened putting it far far behind her and try again in a year or two.

  9. maria September 14, 2011

    Why is Beyonce and adele being brought up, you haters are really pressed!!! You can’t get beyonce off your mind!!! I swear this is not a beyonce post, wow!!

    @ Maria
    Honey, learn to read, her name is mentioned in the article. Here, I’ll help u:

    “In at #9 is ‘4′ by Beyonce with total sales this week of 25,000 units.”

    And here’s Adele’s:

    “At #2 is Adele with ‘21′, which continues to average around the 100,000 sold per week figure”.

    Chill.

    Wow. That’s impressive. Congrats Wayne. Sam I wish you guys would include all of the top 10 albums in this post. You don’t have to talk about the artists who aren’t relevant to this blog, but it wouldn’t require much time or energy to add the complete list to the end of the post.

    ———————————————————————-

    what an ignorant thing to say , mock its numbers all u want. Beyonce and we are fans are very proud of 4 thank you very much. many of us , and critics agree its her best body of work yet and gave way to some of the best performances of her career. she doesnt have to prove that she can sell or get a no1 single to YOU or anyone else.

    on the other hand, congrats to u on “Weezy’s” numbers 🙂

  25. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 14, 2011

    @AISHA I thought I was the only one thinking about the 4th album jinx.So many acts have underperformed with their 4th albums (Christina, Rihanna) and some have utterly flopped (TLC, En Vogue, Ne-Yo, Ciara).And the list goes on and on (I don’t even know how the 4th album slump was brought up, but I am shocked somebody else thinks about it too 🙂

  26. RIHANNA IS THE QUEEN OF POP September 14, 2011

    beyonces stans are desperate for a hit right now sorry but she got alot of competition now!!!!!!!! beyonce gotta do naked videos like 1+1 to stay relevant………………….

    I live it up like these are my last days
    If time is money, I’m an hour past paid
    Ugh, gunpowder in my hourglass
    N***** faker than some flour in a powder bag
    Yeah, I put it down like my hands hurting
    I’m on a natural high, but I land perfect
    Some of us are lovers, most of y’all haters
    But I put up a wall, and they just wallpaper
    So love or hate me, I stay hate-free
    They say we learn from mistakes; why, that’s why they mistake me
    I got some weight on my shoulders, to me it’s like feathers
    All hail Weezy, call it bad weather
    I stick to the script, I memorize the lines
    Cause life is a movie that I’ve seen too many times
    You’re on the outside looking in, close the blinds
    And they say never say never, but f*** it, nevermind
    I’ve been gone too long, true or false, right or wrong
    Hello Weezy, welcome home, yeah

    @Beykniggt

    What was the point of what you just wrote to me?

    I didn’t diss her as a person and of course you as a fan will be proud. For every opinion there is another side so while you are happy and she has nothing to prove I consider those numbers weak for.

    Everyone has an album that doesn’t do so well, that’s honesty not ignorance, and she has put a lot of effort into promotion and performance. With a child on the way however she can relax, focus on her baby, and let 4 go (unless you think there’ll be more promotion on the way).

    I really didn’t say anything offensive so I’m kinda puzzled by your reaction.

  33. aisha aguilera keys September 14, 2011

    @ ASAP
    It’s just something I noticed a while ago. U know how Aguilera has a lot of haters on this blog and everytime they’re laughing about the Bionic “flop”. Well, constantly reading about their cruel jokes on the album got me thinking that she wasn’t the only artist whose album had underperformed, then I started naming other succesful artists whose albums had underperformed and it jumped to my attention that it was mostly their fourth albums.

    @THOSE THAT CANOT DO, STAN-

    Why would Wayne be laughing at JayZ???

    If anything he is still mad and bitter about Jay always being #1 on Forbes, even wen he doesnt have a album out.

    And Wayne is probably even more upset that JayZ IS THE ONLY solo artist with 12 #1 albums….

    And wen did Jay diss Wayne???

  37. yes i know September 14, 2011

    I don’t particularly follow either man but this was all over the net a while ago:

    http://www.hiphopdx.com/m/index.php?s=news&id=16588

    Jay has been in the game longer with more albums but Wayne’s still gotta be chuckling the year he disses him Wayne tops him. Especially with that silly ass album name “Watch The Throne”

  49. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 14, 2011

    @AISHA Yeah, I’ve noticed it before ‘Bionic’.I don’t know why it happens.Maybe the 4th album is the career-defining moment between simple momentum and artistic growth.And the “floptina” jokes are SOOO last year.She already gave them a taste with ‘Moves Like Jagger’ and she’s about to BRING it with the lead single.If something leaks, I will not be able to control myself 😳 I cannot wait for her to come back!

  50. me September 14, 2011

    @ WHO GON STOP ME B**** LIL WAYNE CAN RAP BETTER THAN JAY Z MOST OF JAY Z SONGS WERE COPIED FROM TUPAC BIGGIE AND OTHERS SO FALL BACK LIL WAYNE IS THE KING OF RAP RAP NOW AS FOR JAY Z IS IS TRYING TO RUIN THE WORLD WITH BAPOMETS AND ILLUMINATI SYMBOLS ,,,,,, I THINK JAY Z IS THE ANTICHRIST WHO ELSE WOULD CALL HIMSELF JAHOVA EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT MEANS GOD AND HIS WIFE BEYONCE REAL DEMONIC ADD THAT UP U GET TWO DEVIL WORSHIPPERS.

  54. bey’knight September 14, 2011

    @Those That Cannot Do, Stan

    u can say her sales are weak, there are many people that agree with u on that.considering the direction and other circumstances, i dont think it is but that was not what my reply was about

    u said she can put the 4 era behind her like it never hapened. Beyonce wouldnt want that and her true fans wouldnt want that either. 4 is an album to be very proud of and this era has golden moments in it she’d nevr take back, those who only view an era from the perspective of sales and charts wouldn’t see it but we do. it may not have paid off commercial-wise but it has added so much integrity to her name but im not going to go into all that cus it’ll look like im making excuses, worth of this era will manifest in the longrun

    i have a question for u though, do u own an album by major mainstream artist that dint meet ur commercial expectations? do u wish they’d never made that album?

  55. Who gon stop me huh??? (queenbey) September 14, 2011

    @THOSE THAT CANIT DO, STAN-

    Lmao. Ur talkin about HAM??

    Its not Jay fault that Baby is an insecure grown ass man, who always think if U say the word ‘baby’ in a song Ur talkin about him.

    And trust JayZ will Still have the last laugh.

  56. Lola September 14, 2011

    @THOSE THAT CANNOT DO, STAN Jay-Z came out in 1996 and lil wayne came out in 1998..They both be in the game around the same time.Jay-Z have 11 number one albums and on top of Forbes list.Lil Wayne aint doing sh*t.

  57. Who gon stop me huh??? (queenbey) September 14, 2011

    @THOSE THAT CANNOT DO, STAN-

    I think JayZ name his the album ‘Watch The Throne’ bcuz many ppl, critics including think Jay and Em are the Kings of rap. So the title is very fitting in my opinion.

    And Wayne’s ‘I Am Not A Human Being’ cd is a silly ass album name also…..

  58. Who gon stop me huh??? (queenbey) September 14, 2011

    @THOSE THAT CANNOT DO, STAN-

    And Jay still didnt diss Wayne….

  59. Ms Lovely September 14, 2011

    LMAO @ BEYONCE HATERS!!!! SHE STAYS ON YOUR MIND 24/7. THE SHADE IS, BEYONCE IS STILL IN THE TOP 10(SINCE IT’S RELEASE) AND STILL SELLING WITHOUT A MEGA HIT SONG. MEANWHILE OTHER FEMALE SINGERS WITH MULTIPLE HITS ARE STUMBLING DOWN THE CHARTS. SOME ARE STRUGGLING TO SCAN PAST 2MIL. BEYONCE IS NOT EVEN IN PROMO MODE, YET SHE STILL GENERATING SALES AND BREAKING RECORDS(GET INTO HER LATEST GUINNESS WORLD RECORD).

    JAY-Z IS UNBOTHERED, HE’S BEEN THERE AND DONE 10X OVER.

SHE IS ABOUT TO END UP LIKE ALL THE OTHER UNDERRATED SINGERS THAT NEVER GET MEDIA TIME . ITS ABOUT TIME BEYONCE HAD POOR SALES HER WHOLE CAREER WAS BASED ON A LIE !!

  63. royalkev September 14, 2011

    I swear some people notice Bey’s sales before their own favs. I see nothing wrong with the pace she’s selling at – it’s steady and consistent, just like her career. Hell, just like the woman and her music too! All these people that want to speak for her and her stans don’t seem to be in sync with anyone of us at all. They keep insisting that we’re not pleased, that couldn’t be further from the truth. #Congrats Bey this week’s total put her in the 760+ range. Congrats to Adele too! She’s a newbie and she’s doing very well, this is her time!

  70. rihanna stan September 14, 2011

    @tyra and bey knight go ahead and finish licking beyonces p**** maybe that will inspire her to steal more writing credits and dance moves . in other news beyonce is a wack job with a gold album that shipped a million copies . to date the h** only sold alittle over 700k

    stans on bothe sides need to stop bieng delusional and just stick to stating facts rihanna stans need to stop acting like she aint nvr had flop albums and beyonce stans need to admit she aint slaying this era

  82. Neutral September 14, 2011

    @aisha aguilera keys

    You raise a interesting theory about an alleged 4th album curse. Also what comes to mind is Alicia Keys 4th ablum Element of Freedom was her first album to miss the #1 spot and her current lowest selling one.

    Also, Ashanti’s “The Declaration” her 4th album- only further cemented her down fall in the industry

    And then there’s Ciara’s 4th album “Basic Instinct”………..

    u got that right beyonce is far from slaying she is flopping in full force.

    they need to admit that beyonces cd covers and videos are demonic too . whats up with beyonce and gaga really? they always throwing up signs from illuminati .

  86. claudia September 14, 2011

    maybe the triangle pyramid is about egypt beyonce was there alot and always performing with pyramids and s***. beyonce is a devil worshipper but people ignore that also . she sold her soul to the devil and will have to sacrifice something or somebody very soon.

  87. ya b**** September 14, 2011

    @Bey’Knight

    I see where you’re coming from. I like a lot of underground artists and unusual genres so I understand talent and beautiful music do not always fulfill album sales. It’s 50/50, sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn’t. If Beyonce is happy with the album, cool, that is what artists should aim for. To provide the best music for fans. If the fans are happy that’s great too. Personally I don’t care too much about numbers one way, still I can’t lie and say I’m not surprised by the numbers this album is pulling in. To be honest Beyonce fans seem to talk about numbers more than anyone since the numbers are usually on their side hence my opinion.

    i don’t even mess with Lil wayne like that but,you retards talking about birdman bought albums… that just sounds crazy. Yall have no proof birdman bought those albums. Its proven that artists sell the most their first week. Watch the throne sold 400k+ its first week and then the second week was down to 100k+. Thats a 75% drop but yet you didnt say anything about their albums being bought. Lady Gaga sold a milli her first week and then 100k+ her second. She had a 90% drop but no one claims her albums were bought.

    If you had actual proof that birdman bought albums id agree with you on what you were saying but you have none. And even still, If wayne wouldve sold 500k his second week, you wouldve said birdman was still buying albums, he does 200k, apparently birdman bought albums. The only way it seems like you would be happy is if wayne flopped.

    Now dont get me wrong. I bought the album and it is NOT a classic. I was highly disappointed with C4 but there are some artists who build fanbases that are that damn loyal. Eminem said Relapse was a terrible album and even a lot of his fans agree but his fans still went out and bought it. He has a loyal fanbase. Look at the sold out shows that wayne does. His tours SELL.OUT. Wayne has built up close to an eminem type fanbase to where they are going to buy his stuff no matter what. So unless you have proof birdman bought those albums, then yall argument has no legs to stand on.

    Rihanna was a new unknown artist so of course she wasn’t gonna sell huge! Also all of her albums have had a top ten debut and they have All sold over 1 million worlwide!

    Congrats 2 Wayne, Adele, Beyonce, and others n the top ten!

    It doesn’t make any sense to say Baby brought his albums. Yes his last two albums before TC4 flopped first week but weren’t those two albums Rebirth and I Am Not A Human Being? Wasn’t that his rock s*** that nobody was really checking for? Of course it flopped because it wasn’t the Wayne people were here for. TC3 sold a million in the first week and now this one did…why??? Because obviously it’s what everybody was checking for. It may be inconsitent but it’s Lil Wayne idk why people seem so shocked or say they don’t believe he sold that much. He did it before and he did it again it’s as simple as that.

    Now you dumbasses that say he didn’t sell that much show me the reciepts Baby brought his albums….*crickets* But I can show you the reciepts that he sold 964k the first week! Stay mad! Unless you have the reciepts have a seat. You sound pressed. Give credit when credit is due. I’m not even a Weezy stan but some of you sound stupid.

    Congrats to everyone.

    Bey doesn’t really care about sales with this album she’s already said that even before the album came out. I love it for the great music. Anyway, Love On Top in Australia is at no.21 on the itunes chart with little radio airplay. I can see it becoming a hit here. People are really liking it. I love Watch The Throne.

    Don’t understand why Adele and Lil Wayne are selling so much.
