Lil Wayne Cracks 1 Million With 'Tha Carter III'

Lil Wayne: With "Tha Carter III,"
Lil Wayne becomes the first artist since
50 Cent in 2005 to sell more than 1 million copies of an album in a single week, according to chart reports that will be issued tomorrow morning (June 18) by Nielsen SoundScan.
In its first week on the market, "Tha Carter III" (Cash Money/Universal) sells just over 1 million units. The last album to top that milestone was
50 Cent's "The Massacre" in March 2005.
No album in 2006 sold as many as 800,000 copies in a single frame, and the largest sales week since "The Massacre" belonged to
Kanye West's "Graduation," which netted an opener of 957,000 copies last year when it hit stores on Sept. 11.

The biggest mouth in hip-hop loves Nirvana, loves codeine-spiked cough syrup even more—and has no idea what a koala is.
These days, the New Orleans–born rapper, 25, splits his time between Atlanta, Miami and the road. He says he spends about 200 days a year on his tour bus. “I don’t have a home,” he notes. He’s wearing pristine high-tops, distressed designer jeans and a tight black T-shirt; and he’s clasping a Styrofoam cup full of promethazine-codeine cough syrup (one accessory he’s ne
