After nearly crossing the 1,000,000 mark last week, Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV (Cash Money/Universal) has been certified platinum after selling an additional 206,630 copies of his new album in its second week. With the recent success of the album’s newest single “She Will” featuring Drake getting heavy rotation, Tha Carter IV won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Expect the album to hang around the top ten for a few more weeks until some more high-profile albums are released near the end of September and early October.
A month later it should still come as no surprise that Jay-Z and Kanye West’s collaborative album, Watch the Throne (RocNation/Def Jam), is still in the Top 10. This week, at #6, the much talked about album moved just under 50,000 copies, a 40% decline from the week prior.
Coming in at #17 and #19 are Bad Meets Evil with Hell: The Sequel (Shady/Interscope) moving 18,386 copies and Game with The R.E.D. Album (Interscope) moving 17,718 copies. That is a 4% increase for Eminem and Royce and a 50% decline for Game, who just announced that his fifth and final studio album for Interscope records will be called Soundtrack to Chaos and will be released sometime next year.
