Clipse LGSEO did 118K first week.
Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI did 108K first week. This is insane for them.
For perspective, the last Clipse album released in Dec 2009 and did 31K first week.
Lil Wayne dropped Tha Carter III in June 2008 and did 1.005M first week.
Incredible numbers for Clipse (relative to their previous sales)... and in respect to Wayne - how the mighty have fallen.
Good music won. Congrats to push and malice for one of the best rollouts in recent times

Damn both had physicals on release too. So level playing field.
wayne’s album was on preorder for months so it’s even worse for him

wayne had 0 promo and probably no budget either
Aside from that tour that literally promoted the Carter 6 and the preorders and the commercials all over my YouTube feed and tiktok and vinyl release

2022; announced C6 at OVO Fest, a yearly show with strong media coverage
2023; dropped two singles with standard promo run (Kant Nobody & Kat Food). Both flopped so he pivoted and put them on a mixtape to promote Carter 6 ("Tha Fix Before Tha VI") - but unfortunately that flopped too.
Did interview in Jan 2025 guaranteeing C6 would drop in 2025
Had a Cetaphil commercial during SuperBowl (large viewership) announcing release date. Commercial was played in Louisiana area.
Opened album pre order 1-2 months in advance in order to ship physicals on day of release (Clipse did same) - just not many fans (relatively) bought
Did interview discussing songs on album and features to build hype
Did a DJ Mix with Mannie Fresh few days before release giving fans some unheard music from over the years, again to build hype
Had the song "The Days" premired during NBA Finals hours before album release
Performed at MSG (iconic hiphop Venue) to celebrste the album release
