The Numbers Game: Weezy Approaches 3 “Milli”

lilwaynenumbersgame011509

I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record (Do some of you even remember records?), but this January is really slow when it comes to new releases. So like last week (And the two before that…), there are no big changes to the album sales charts. If we were to HAVE to talk about something, I guess we can talk about how Lil’ Wayne is going to clear that 3 million mark real soon. I may not be feeling that Weezy’s next album will be a “Rock” album, Tha Carter III is doing crazy numbers.
