Lil Wayne is now the first artist since 50 Cent to sell more than 1 million copies of an album in a single week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

In its first week on the market, Tha Carter III sells just over 1 million units. The last album to accomplish that feat was 50 Cent’s The Massacre in March 2005.
