Today was all about Lil Wayne. His new album Tha Carter IV was released at the beginning of the month and it sold nearly one million albums in just the first week. I did a lot of research on Lil Wayne today because I wrote a huge artist news article about him and all the crazy success he's been having. His new album sold 964 thousand copies in just the first week, and the only other person to have a higher record than that is Lady Gaga with one million copies. Lady Gaga is also on our label. We got a whole bunch of shipments in of his CD too and I got a deluxe target copy for free. I get a whole bunch of fun artist promotional stuff from my work. I also got a bracelet and some sunglasses for our artists Dev. We got our charts in today to say where some of our artists stood and how many records we sold that week, and as a label as a whole we sold just over one million. That means that almost all of those sales were from Lil Wayne. The office was abuzz with Lil Wayne talk all day and it seemed like he was everywhere. When I archived Monte's emails, there were a lot about Lil Wayne and where they were going to go from there. My article about him talked a little about his past compared to the amount of crazy success he has now.
