Lil Wayne Tops the Charts Again: Review of Billboard Top 200

Hey who cares what the critics think right?

After reading the average-at-best reviews for Lil Wayne’s newest album, “Tha Carter IV”, many music gurus and fans promptly went out and made the album No.1 on the Billboard for the weeks of September 17 and September 24.

“Tha Carter IV” has sold 964,000 units, making it the most sold hip-hop and male-artist album ever in terms of first-week sales. Much of its success may have come from the fact that the album was “leaked” before it officially went on sale, allowing for “the word of mouth” to spread its acclaim before it even hit the shelves.

No.3 for Lil Wayne

For Lil Wayne, his latest album marked his third sojourn to the top of the Billboards Chart, with the first two accomplishments being “Tha Carter III” and “I Am Not A Human Being.”

He had this to say, recently, to MTV about his latest hit and its leak, saying, “It just means people want to hear it. I mean, ’cause there’re people’s albums that come out that can be leaked and don’t leak, so I’m glad mine’s leaked.”
