We all knew it was coming... It hasn't even been a week since Lil Wayne's long awaited album Tha Carter 3dropped in stores last Tuesday, however it has already hit the mark of a million copies sold.

On it’s first day alone, Tha Carter 3’s sales stood at 423,00 copies sold, and as of June 13th, the album had sold roughly 630,000 copies.

According to the Nielsen SoundScan’s Building Charts, Tha Carter 3, which was released on June 10th, was set to reach it’s million-copies-sold peak by last evening, which is when Soundscan closes its trackings.

Weezy has a lot more to boast about, as he still sits at the number one spot on the singles charts with his single, Lollipop .

Lil' Wayne Faces Backlash for DJ Diss - Carter III Intentionally Leaked


The Carter III, the highly anticipated album, by Lil' Wayne, set for release on June 10, leaked this weekend. The DJ responsible is lashing back at Wayne for comments he made against mixtape DJs earlier this week. In a statement released explaining his actions, DJ Chuck T wrote:
"Lil' Wayne said f*ck mixtape DJ's...so now i'm about to show that boy the meaning of bootleg," he explained. "I'll be damned if I let [anyone] get away with saying f*ck me without him facing some type of repercussions, including Lil' Wayne."
Lil' Wayne, smacked the mixtape world in the face during an interview with Foundation magazine, where he cursed out and discredited mixtape DJs despite the great success he's had with his Drought mixtape series. Appalled by Wayne's comments, Chuck T, decided he do something about it.

"I see the b*tchassness of a lot of mixtape DJs right now," Chuck said. "DJs love to talk sh*t about each other and bash each other for no reason, but are scared as hell to stand up for themselves when someone talks sh*t about the group as a collective. I figure I'll do what I've been doing since day one and [stand] on my own."

"I gave [Wayne] a pass when he kissed another man because that sh*t didn't affect me," he continued. "He's not sliding on this one. Don't buy the new Lil' Wayne album. Download it for free!"

He offered up an apology to his friends and associates at Wayne's record label Cash Money/Universal Records.
"I would sincerely like to apologize to all my friends and business associates at Universal and Cash Money Records for any problems this may cause," he explained. "If you never want to deal with me again then I totally understand. No hard feelings."
