Tha Carter III Snags Top-Selling Album Of 2008
Monday January 5, 2009
Lil Wayne is probably ordering more drank and Styrofoam cups as you read this, because his latest album Tha Carter III was by far the top seller of 2008, shifting 2.88 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That's the good news. The bad? It's the first time the best selling album of the year has sold less than 3 million since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. Congrats to Wayne for achieving a feat usually reserved for pop artists.

i thought acdc sold more than that
(No, sir. AC/DC came in at No.5 with 1.92 million – Henry)
Yeah, but AC/DC came in second for first week sales next to Wayne (1,000,000 for Wayne, 800,000 for AC/DC.)
p.s. Henry, do you think Rock N Roll Jesus count? It dropped in 2007.
(Yes, given that they’re counting total album sales for 2008 and not total sales for 2008 albums – Henry)
*should count.
Sorry.
Comes to show that the ppl have the last say n it does not matter wat critics have 2 say…I personally like the cd a lot n while I dnt consider it a classic it is still good n well dat should show everyone that was hattin on wayne n sayin that the cd was no good ..he has the best selling cd in 2008
(I’m confused. Carter 3 received glowing reviews all across the board. – Henry)
Hell i bought it, and i bet you all did too. Just cuz the pre-teens bumped it to doesn’t mean everyone has to hate.
Well u have it in the most disappointing albums of 2008 and a lot of people disliked his singles or did not think dey were good enough…also I have seen other websites were they call the carter 3 his worst cd yet and worst cd of 08…I guess u kant rely on all websites….but its all good that’s y I love this one….keep on doin wat u do henry
