Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter VI opens at No. 28 on the Official Vinyl Albums chart in the U.K., marking … More
Lil Wayne has been charting hit albums around the world for decades. He got his start as a teenager, becoming a superstar in the rap world at a very young age. The hip-hop powerhouse has continued to work for many years and remains hugely prolific, even if he has spaced out his past few releases by several years.
After nearly half a decade, his new project Tha Carter VI arrives on a multitude of tallies across the Atlantic. In the United Kingdom, the title underperforms in some respects while also earning the Grammy winner his first placement on one important ranking.
Lil Wayne’s First Vinyl Hit
Tha Carter VI debuts at No. 28 on the latest edition of the Official Vinyl Albums chart. Amazingly, Wayne scores his first appearance ever on the list of the bestselling vinyl titles in the country. While he has released projects on wax in the past, it appears that none of them sold well enough in a single tracking period to make a home on this roster.
Lil Wayne Follows Addison Rae, Pulp and Marina
The Official Vinyl Albums chart in the U.K. is packed this week with several exciting new releases. While Tha Carter VI starts at No. 28, Wayne earns the fifteenth loftiest debut at the moment. The top 10 is crowded with eight launches, including projects from Pulp, Addison Rae, Marina, and Turnstile, among others.
Tha Carter VI earns Wayne one of his loftiest starts this week on the U.K. rankings on the Official Vinyl Albums list. The new project reaches a total of seven tallies, and it opens inside the top 40 on about half of them.
Tha Carter VI Launches Inside the Top 10
The sixth installment in Wayne’s Tha Carter series opens highest on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart. It manages a top 10 beginning on that tally, kicking off its time in fifth place. The arrival gives Wayne his seventh top 10. The full-length is also new to the Official Album Downloads chart, where it starts at No. 32.
Tha Carter VI doesn’t perform quite as well on several other rosters, including those dedicated to pure purchases, streaming activity, and the all-encompassing Official Albums chart. The title misses the top 40 on all of them and even brings Wayne to a new career low on a handful of those rankings.
