The Numbers Game: Weezy Keeps At It (by B-Easy)
June 26, 2008 by nappyafro.com Staff
Damn, I thought we was gonna take a break from posting Lil’ Wayne on the front page. I guess you can’t stop the inevitable since no other releases really made an impact this week. But then again, 2 Pistols and Blood Raw didn’t do too bad with both debut albums. Other than that Usher is steadily approaching Platinum status, Rihanna follows Chris Brown & Fergie and re-releases her album, The TMI Boyz (?) does the unthinkable (I still don’t believe it but I’m just following the numbers), and some more Gold plaques get handed out. Okay, lets look at the numbers…
#2 Lil’ Wayne/Tha Carter III (Last Week: #1) - 308,505; Total: 1,317,956 (Platinum) [2 Weeks]
#5 Plies/Definition Of Real (Last Week: #2) - 67,678; Total: 282,579 [2 Weeks]
