Will Lil Wayne Sell 'A Milli' Next Week?


Unweighted first-day sales of "Tha Carter III" at nine leading accounts through the close of business yesterday (June 10), stood at 423,000. Sources close to the album project "Carter" could shift between 850,000-950,000 in its first full week.

That would easily give Wayne the biggest sales week of the year, surpassing the 463,000 start that greeted Mariah Carey's "E=MC2," and the best since Kanye West's "Graduation" started with 957,000 last year.

To compare, "Graduation" saw a first-day Building number of 437,000 from eight accounts, about 3% more than that posted by "Carter."

So far Lil Wayne has released five singles from 'The Carter III' which was released on June 10, 2008 including, "Lollipop," "A Milli", "Got Money", "Mr. Carter" and 'You Ain't Got Nuthin."

Here are the singles and the release dates:

01 - Lollipop [Featuring. Static Major] - March 12, 2008
02 - A Milli - April 22, 2008
03 - Got Money [Featuring. T-Pain] - May 27, 2008
04 - You Ain't Got Nuthin [Featuring. Fabolous & Julez Santana] - June 3, 2008
05 - Mr. Carter [Featuring. Jay-Z] - June 5, 2008
