Shocked by the amount of sales, Sean said he projected the album to sell up to 500,000 copies.

“God d*mn, you remember we were talking about how much Lil Wayne was going to sell,” Sean said in an interview. “I ain’t gonna lie, I thought he was going to sell [500,000]. He sold 964,000? Oh sh*t. Man. Congratulations Lil Wayne, you sh*tted on everybody again. Again…Congratulations to him. I think that’s like beautiful. That’s inspiring to me. I’m trying to sell a million the first week. Lil Wayne really worked his a** off for that. He’s been going since he was 13 with the Hot Boys to the everything.” (Rap-Up TV)

Following its debut atop the competition, Cash Money Records founders Slim and Baby shared their reactions.

“This is a tremendous accomplishment for Lil Wayne and everyone here at Cash Money,” said Slim. “It’s a tribute to the hard work and commitment he’s shown from the very start.” “I consider him my son, part of the Cash Money family from the very start,” added Baby. “One thing I’ve learned. No record is safe from him.” (Statement)

Although there are no estimates as of yet, Wayne’s new solo effort is expected to dominate the sales chart next week.

Cash Money/Universal Republic hip-hop star Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV will certainly remain #1 for at least another week after scoring close to a million in its debut on the charts. (HITS Daily Double)
