Weezy’s album dropped just yesterday, but according to Billboard, industry forecasters are already expecting it to top charts.
The experts predict that “Tha Carter IV” will sell about 700,000-850,000 copies by Sunday, September 4th, thus concluding the second most successful opening week of the year – right behind Lady Gaga‘s “Born This Way.”
Jay-Z and Kanye West‘s “Watch the Throne” only sold 426,661, which is respectful on its own, but almost half of Lil Wayne’s projected sales. And “Watch The Throne” wasn’t even leaked…
If that isn’t enough, the album is expected to hit number one sometime next week, making it Weezy’s third No.1. It’s ALMOST enough to make the less-than-perfect reviews inconsequential… or maybe not.
