With virtually no promotion and MP3-only digital distribution, Lil Wayne’s The Leak EP quietly sold 2,401 copies in its first week since being released on Christmas Day (December 25). While The Leak was originally intended to collect many of the outtakes from Tha Carter III’s studio sessions, along with four new songs, Wayne’s label, Universal, confirmed that the project would no longer be coming out in December. Still, on the final release date of 2007, a 5 song EP appeared on digital music retailers like Rhapsody and Amazon with no warning or explanation from Universal or Cash Money. The EP’s first week sales were not high enough to appear on the Billboard chart.
In other chart news, Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool is still the Billboard 200′s highest selling hip-hop album after moving an additional 54,398 copies last week to come in at #14 (one spot up from his #15 debut), bringing his two week total to 198,477.
thats going platinum!
this aint goin platinum,wezzy garbage
dnt lie .. u listen to lil wayne
so was it a good idea or not?…
Lupe’s numbers are impressive for someone doing his genre of hip hop he’s not on the commercial/gangsta/no sense having (souljaboy as example) type of music people like him rarely sell a lot look at common for example…that’s why they say his numbers are impressive.
Yeah hip hop is dead! You wanna know who killed? It wasn’t the South, it wasn’t artist like 50 or Ja Rule who people claim aren’t gangsta enough for them. IT’S THE FANS THAT KILLED HIP-HOP!!! Nothing is ever good enough for you idiots. You’re always trying to point the finger at the artist but most of you are just too damn picky. Half of you bootleg the album and still bitch about it. Beggers can’t be choosers. Always wining about what you like or don’t like. It’s just music for crying out loud. If you don’t like a certain type of artist just don’t listen to it..plain and simple. If you claim to know so much about hip hop then why aren’t you out there getting money from it like everybody else. It’s plain and simple “STOP HATIN!!!!”
Damn nigga be eazy!
I will agree with most of that comment though. But Jay Stone need to just role some weed up or somthin’ ya know?
Take a chill pill it ain’t dat serious.
WANGHOUSE!
JAY STONE IZ RIGHT. PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SOUTH & RADIO BUT DON’T SUPPORT ARTIST THAT MAKE GOOD MUSIC.FANS NEED 2 STEP UP OR STEP OFF.

Nobody wants to listen to that sh*t! Lil Weezy Ana is garbage…His album will be garbage as well….Wayne, stick to doing collabo’s on other people tracks because that is about all your good for…….
LOL…that is goin platinum…but I wanna know what 2000 people actually bought it…if its already online…y buy it??
LMFAO, Jay Stone is crying like an old bitch.
‘The Leak’ is garbage because it ain’t got shit that these faggerts haven’t heard on a thousand different mixtapes.
I hear that March 18th is Universal Music Group’s first quarter tax write off day.
Jay Stone, your post doesnt make any sense. No seriously, its pretty nonsensical. Particulary this:
Always wining about what you like or don’t like. It’s just music for crying out loud. If you don’t like a certain type of artist just don’t listen to it..plain and simple. If you claim to know so much about hip hop then why aren’t you out there getting money from it like everybody else. It’s plain and simple “STOP HATIN!!!!”
No one that read it could summarize what you are talking about.
Ummm it only had 5 tracks on it and all of them were available free through mixtapes. Nobody is going to buy a CD with 5 old tracks…so basically all the people above me that say this is a reason why wanye is bad are pretty fuckin stupid.
