Lil Wayne Added To Guinness Book Of World Records x Tha Carter IV Third Week Sales x More


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.

Lil Wayne Breaks Guinness World Records For Most Facebook Likes In 24 Hours

Lil Wayne Breaks Guinness World Records For Most Facebook Likes In 24 Hours

Rapper Lil Wayne has broken the Guinness World Record for most Facebook likes on a single post in 24 hours — a record only too recently created and briefly held by Oreo.

Yesterday, Oreo attempted to set the record with a post to the brand’s Facebook Wall. The post read, “‘Like’ this post to join Oreo fans around the world in setting a Guinness World Record for most “Likes” to a post in 24 hours. Oreo is the world’s favorite cookie, and with your help, it will be the most ‘Liked.’”

Shortly after that post surfaced, Lil Wayne announced to the world that he was also going after the Guinness World Record for most Facebook likes in 24 hours.

At the end of the 24-hour period, Oreo had 114,619 likes; five hours later, when the rapper’s 24-hour period had expired, his post had 588,243 likes, easily trumping Oreo’s bid for the Guinness World Record. (Though the company was honored for its brief record in a Guinness ceremony this morning.)

Around 16.7 million Facebook users “like” Oreo’s page on the social network; Lil Wayne’s fanbase weighs in at 20 million Facebook users strong. However, the high level of engagement between Weezy and his fans tipped the balance in his favor.

Mazy Kazerooni is Lil Wayne’s digital manager. He told us yesterday that the stunt was intended to show off Lil Wayne’s social media chops. “I want people to think ‘Bieber, Gaga and Lil Wayne.’ The traffic we do is ridiculous and no one really knows,” Kazerooni said. – Mashable

I suppose a congratulations to Tunechi is in order haha.
