Lil Wayne is the #1 Male Artist on Billboard’s List Of 2011, while Adele was the top female artist. Weezy‘s Tha Carter IV album also came #1 on Billboard’s “R&B/Hip Hop Albums” list, as well as getting 3 features in the top 5 on the “R&B/Hip Hop Songs” list (“Motivation” – 2, “Look At Me Now” – 3, and “I’m On One” – 4). You can view the full list of Billboard’s List Of 2011 here!

Weezy F Baby‘s live performance of “Nightmares Of The Bottom” is up for MTV’s “Best Live Performance” of this year too, along with performances from other music artists including: Jay-Z, Kanye West, Pitbull, Chris Brown, Beyonce, Wiz Khalifa, Odd Future, and more! You can vote for Tune here until the voting closes on December 12th at 12PM EST.

According to Billboard, Lil Wayne broke another record last week by being the first music artist to have six No. 1s on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip Hop Radio Airplay chart in one calender year. This is because of Weezy‘s “She Will” single featuring Drake moving from #3 to #1. The other 5 tracks that went #1 this year with Tune in are: “6 Foot, 7 Foot“, “How To Love“, “I’m On One“, “Look At Me Now” and “Motivation“. The previous record holder for this achievement was Usher with four No. 1s in 2004, so a congratulations to Tunechi is in order!

I am also aware that some of the videos from MTV that I have recently posted on LilWayneHQ can not be viewed by users who are not in the US. Well the homie Kuzz has very kindly ripped these videos from MTV and uploaded them to YouTube. This means that users worldwide can now watch them!

We already know that Lil Wayne went platinum with Tha Carter IV in the first week worldwide, but it has took Weezy 2 weeks to officially go platinum with C4 in the US. The album sold 219,000 copies this past week, bringing the total album sales in the US at: 1,183,000! Tunechi‘s Tha Carter IV album is currently still at the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart too.

In other news, Lil Wayne has had his own personal skate ramp built in to the back of his Cadillac Escalade. The ramp is portable and will pull in and out of his Escalade, which will let Wayne practice his skateboarding skills while he is on the road touring. You can read what TMZ reported below:

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

According to Billboard, music industry forecasters have suggested that Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album will sell between 850,000 – 900,000 copies in the first week. Even though these numbers are more than great, I still think Wayne will get them 1 million sales this week! Also, has anyone else noticed that the haters are getting worried and are already looking for excuses, such as: “Oh, Birdman must be buying 500,000 copies”
