Now that we are in a new decade, an amazing accomplishment for Lil Wayne has been revealed that involves the previous decade.

Between 2010 to 2020, Tunechi had the biggest hip-hop debut with pure sales inside the United States of America alone, so a big congratulations is in order for him!

By selling 964,000 copies in the very first week, Weezy has topped the list with his Tha Carter IV album beating out other albums, such as Views, Recovery, Nothing Was The Same, Take Care, Magna Carta Holy Grail, MBDTF, Watch The Throne, Pink Friday, and many more.

The first week sales are in! According to HDD, Lil Wayne debuted at No. 1 this week with his new album Funeral after selling 138,388 units.

From this total number, Tunechi sold 37,229 copies in pure sales of his Funeral project with the rest coming from streaming.

Congratulations to Weezy on reaching the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart! What is your favorite song from Funeral?

DJ Envy recently mentioned Lil Wayne has hit him up as he wants to make his debut on Power 105.1 FM’s “The Breakfast Club” radio show for an interview.

The host revealed he has never really met or had a conversation with Wayne and that he did have an opportunity to interview him one time back when he did HOT 97’s morning show, but Weezy ended up leaving after being made to wait too long.

More than likely Tunechi wants to appear on “The Breakfast Club” to promote his upcoming album, Funeral, which currently has no exact release date. Tune also told Envy to tell Charlamagne that he knows he didn’t like his last album Tha Carter V and that he will work harder on Funeral!

Lil Skies recently appeared on Genius‘ “The Genius Test” series to take a quiz on one of his biggest influences in music – Lil Wayne, which you can watch below.

At the start of the video, the Pennsylvania-born rapper called Tunechi “the G.O.A.T.” and revealed how Tune influenced him to be himself in his music. If you recall back to last year, Skies paid homage to Wayne with his “A Milli“-inspired music video for “Welcome To The Rodeo“.

Some of the questions that Lil Skies got right included finishing the lyrics off from “6 Foot 7 Foot“, which artist is not signed to Young Money, how old Mr. Carter was when he first recorded under the name of Baby D, what was the title of the Destiny’s Child single that Weezy appeared on, and more.

Skies got a total of 76% on this quiz and some of the questions which he got wrong were: the title of Lil Wayne‘s debut studio album, which DJ hosted the Dedication mixtape series, what project Wayne released exclusively on TIDAL, and listing as many Weezy and Drake songs that he could in under 15 seconds!
