Lil Wayne Announces New Album 'Devol'

[Zippy]

Tha Carter IV sells a whopping 964k in first week of release stateside. Exceeding the 850k prediction.

wow that's some serious sh!t right there. And without gimmicks or 99c giveaways too. :)

Adele may have a contender on her hands at last in the states. Though I can't see him catching her as she's on the rise again.

[SoBig]

:shocked:

[Zippy]

It's not quite as good as Carter III though which debuted at 1.01million a few years back.

[Iceman]

Yeah Watch The throne didnt sell anywhere near that. but they did release it at a stupid time.

[Legend killer]

Eoin u serious I thought WTT would have been huge

[Locke.]

Watch the Throne will be a more consistent seller, this has sold so many because the record label have done what they always do and buy a big chunk of the records

[Iceman]

Eoin u serious I thought WTT would have been huge

It sold 436,000 but it didnt get a full first week on the charts....

[Tom4784]

964,000 people have a serious lack of taste.

[Doogle]

How so many?! It's not that good. :laugh:

wake up, WTT was released already and did average.

And Kanye West is even worse than 50cent at rapping. Both flat monotonous mumblers.

Not that impressive. Taylor Swift sold over a million copies of Speak Now on it's first week of release.

well thats a bit silly to say. Because one artist did better its not impressive? k

[Callum]

How is it silly? You're making out like this is some huge feat for the music industry when in fact it's not because many artists have sold over a million copies in just a week. Still great sales though, just seen better. :)

[Roy Mars III]

Not bad for a less than stellar album.

[Shaun]

Lil Wayne is one of the most disgusting human beings ever to walk the Earth.

It kind of is. His last album sold over a million in the first week. To have another one nearly do the same is a huge coup for him. Also he broke the record for the itunes thing or something.

Oh OK never knew that, in that case it is a pretty big feat then, congrats to him I guess. :)

[Vladimir]

I'd rather shoot myself than pay for his 'music'.

[Smithy]

Ohh America :bored:

[Harry!]

I thought he was meant to be ''retiring'' from the music world.

[InOne]

Don't get all this Lil Wayne hype :/

I still haven't quite forgiven Eminem for working with him :nono:

[Iceman]

No he said he would after this album but it's unlikely.

i like that song actually, the version without him on it is the one I play now though.

[King Gizzard]

He is awfffffuuuuuuulllllllllll

[Roy Mars III]

I don't dislike Lil Wayne, he's just massively overrated. There are so many other rappers out there who are better than him, that are overlooked.

I did like The Carter II, but that's about it.

[Iceman]

For those interested

[Joelle.]

Not a fan of his, but don't massively dislike him either.

[Roy Mars III]

For those interested

That is a great song though.

[Iceman]

Yeah Eminem's verse on that is probably in my top 3 favourite all time from him....just on fire

[Zippy]

What is it with these rappers claiming to retire? It's like they all claim it but none of them ever actually do. So tedious and pointless.

It's odd I started this thread really as I have no interest in him other than his impressive sales figures. I was looking for somewhere to post it but couldnt find anywhere so just started a thread instead. :)

[InOne]

Yeah def better without him lol

but not that many claim it themselves....Jay-Z and Lil Wayne are the only two I can think of. Eminem was said to be retiring but never said anything himself. Dr Dre will retire after detox but I've come to the realisation he keeps pushing it back because he wants to stay true to that. 50 Cent is out of a record deal now so maybe he will and The Game will probably end up in prison or dead....

[Roy Mars III]

Lil Wayne says he's retiring to 'be a better father'. I don't see it lasting more than a year or two though.

Already talk of him and drake doing an album.... :laugh:

I love The Game, but this made me laugh. It's probably true though.

I am not sure if he still is, but he was for awhile after Proof was killed.

That's strange? The Eminem Show was certified Diamond in the us a few months back, he had 2 go Diamond within 3 weeks of each other :suspect:

[Zippy]

That's strange? The Eminem Show was certified Diamond in the us a few months back, he had 2 go Diamond within 3 weeks of each other :suspect:

certifications are based on albums shipped out not actual sales. This list includes The Game's album released just last week so it must be recent.

[Iceman]

Oh right didnt know that!

[Iceman]

Lil Wayne has announced details of a brand new LP titled Devol.

The 'Lollipop' rapper explained that the album (pronounced 'devil'), will feature "love songs", and that he recorded it during his period with Rikers Island in 2010.

"I was recording an album at the same time called Devol spelled D-E-V-O-L, 'cause that's 'love' spelled backwards," he told MTV's Hip Hop POV.

"And it's my version of love songs. And what I mean by my version of love songs is they're not saying I love you."

Lil Wayne recently teamed up with new label mates Limp Bizkit on a single titled 'Ready to Go'.

The artist's full interview about Devol will feature in Hip Hop POV's premiere episode on MTV tonight (April 11) at midnight ET, which will also feature Akon and 2 Chainz.

Officially one of the worst days in music, ever

This guy :joker:



Cant knock his sales though. A Milly in a week is madness for a rapper. YMCMB is a brand which has a flock of mindless people eating out of their hands :/

Birdman with that first week purchase of 500,000 copies.
