Experts Project Tha Carter III Went Platinum Yesterday
It has been just a few short days since Lil Wayne's Tha Carter 3 [click to read] was released to retailers around the globe, and already the Louisiana born and raised rapper is close to rounding off a million copies sold.
According to the Nielsen SoundScan's Building Charts, Tha Carter 3, which was released last Tuesday (June 10th) was set to reach it's million-copies-sold peak by last evening, which is when Soundscan closes its trackings. On it's first day alone, Tha Carter 3's sales stood at 423,00 copies sold [click to read], and as of June 13th, the album has sold roughly 630,000 copies.
Tha Carter 3 is toe-to-toe with Kanye West's Graduation [click to read], which sold nearly 600,000 copies it's first day of release. Lil Wayne, who is still currently signed to Cash Money/Universal Motown Records, has a lot more to boast about, as his smash single, "Lolipop" still sits at number one on the singles charts.
