Some short footage of Lil Wayne skating.

Now before some of you start saying this blog post is full of old news, I’m aware of that. I just thought that some of this news wasn’t worth its own post on LilWayneHQ, so this is why I’m doing a post with all of the news in one!

Anyways, Lil Wayne has picked up another great achievement in his music career, by being placed in the 2012 Guinness Book Of World Records for having the most US Hot 100 hits. Over the past 10 years, Weezy has had over 60 tracks that made the Hot 100 chart. Tunechi was previously inducted into the Guinness Book Of World Records for having the most “likes” on Facebook in 24 hours.

In other Wayne news, I have recently added all of the lyrics to his latest album, Tha Carter IV. You can check the lyrics out here (I also included the bonus songs). Talking about C4, the album sold 116,817 copies in its 3rd week of being released. This means that the total sales for the album are around: 1,300,000.

Above, you can watch some footage from Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album release party that was hosted at Boulevard3 on August 28th in Los Angeles, California. In the video, a few of the YMCMB artists speak on Weezy, what it’s like working with him, C4, and more! You can also view some photos from the red carpet here.

After the jump, you can read what Tunechi told to XXL Magazine about his favorite football player:

Even though Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album sold just under one million copies in the first week, the album did still go platinum worldwide by selling over 1.03 million! The 964,000 copies Billboard counted are just sales from the US. We already know C4 debuted at #1 on the Billboard chart, but it has also topped the United World Chart too, which is another great accomplishment for Weezy. This album marks Wayne‘s second highest first week sales behind Tha Carter III that sold 1.05 million in 2008.

Tunechi just keeps on winning though, because now Billboard have reported that Tune has 12 songs simultaneously charting on the Billboard Hot 100! Only The Beatles have topped this achievement, having placed 14 songs on the Hot 100 in 1964.

14 – How To Love | 16 – Mirror featuring Bruno Mars | 24 – I’m On One with DJ Khaled featuring Drake and Rick Ross | 26 – Motivation with Kelly Rowland | 33 – Blunt Blowin’ | 40 – She Will featuring Drake | 52 – Megaman | 79 – It’s Good featuring Jadakiss and Drake | 84 – How To Hate featuring T-Pain | 90 – Nightmares Of The Bottom | 94 – President Carter | 95 – So Special featuring John Legend

Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album has debuted at #1 and sold just under 1,000,000 copies in the first week of being released. The last hip hop album to sell more than Tha Carter IV was Weezy‘s Tha Carter III back in 2008. Like Mack Maine said on Twitter, shout out to everyone who went out and bought one or more copies of C4 this week.

UPDATE: According to Billboard, the official numbers for the first week sales are: 964,000 copies! Congrats Tunechi!!!

According to an Australian newspaper, Herald Sun, Eminem and Lil Wayne will be headlining a six-hour show in Sydney and Melbourne later this year on December 1st. Em and Weezy will be performing a full set of their hits from past to present and local rappers Hilltop Hoods will also be supporting them, as well as two international acts. You will be able to purchase tickets for $150 from 9AM on September 13th.

After the jump, you can watch some videos of Lil Twist speaking about Wayne‘s “Flowers” song with Twizzy and Chris Brown coming soon, YMCMB artists talking about their favorite songs from Tunechi‘s Tha Carter IV, Busta Rhymes honored to be on the “Outro” of the album, and more.
