Is this the uber-MTV bump? In its first week of release Tha Carter IV has entered the charts at number one with sales of 964,000.
Given the relatively minimal hype, his dethroning of Jigga and Keezy is kinda the South will rise again. Watch The Throne has been out for a month and hasn't sold that many copies.
I like the album, just not that much. The thing is, he released all the best tracks as singles before the album dropped so it feels like we already knew them.
Incidentally, two third of all sales were digital.
