Baby Says They Are Pushing For A Million First Week Sales For Carter 4


Lil Wayne's Carter 4 drops tomorrow (29 Aug), but the digital copy would be officially available for download by mindnight today. Cash Money C.E.O, Brian "Baby" Williams has come forward to say they are pushing for the Carter 4 to sell a million copies in its first week. Carter 3 did that in 2008, but i do not know if this one can do that. But, that is just my opinion, i do not know what kind of marketing baby got going.

Below is what Baby had to say about Carter 4's first week sales-

Cash Money delivered Carter IV to Universal about 10 days in advance, which Williams says was necessary to press the two million units being shipped in its first week. "The goal is to sell a million-plus copies," he explains. Although that's likely what led to Carter IV breaking free, Williams says he's actually OK with leaks, to a point. "I can deal with it for short period of time," he says. It's when you have a leak out for a long time that it's crazy." (Rolling Stone)

So, they are shipping out 2 million copies in the first week? That is a lot. Men! I love baby's work ethics. That is a clever move, because the more cd's out there, the higher the possibilities of him selling a million first week. There wouldn't  be any stores that run out of stock on Carter 4. Wayne has a huge following, and you can see that from views on his videos on youtube, and also his recent projects. He released an EP of about 12 tracks last year, I Am Not A Human Being, and it sold 110,000 copies in its first week, and ended up going Plat. If wayne can sell 110,000 with an EP that was released while he was in jail, then i think he can sell at least 600,000 copies of his Carter 4 album.

I think he should be able to sell 600k easily, but i don't know, he could sell more than that. I know he has a lot of die-hard fans...i know that from the traffic that comes to my blog daily, and what they searched on google to get them to my blog. The projections for the first week sales will come in on Wednesday evening, so we just have to wait till them. But i know this project is going to be big.
