Birdman & Lil Wayne Album Debuts at #3

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  89 Comments

lilwayne.jpgLil Wayne and Cash Money boss man Baby land in the number three spot on this week’s charts after moving just under 177K copies of their collaborative LP Like Father, Like Son. The records lead single “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy” currently sits at #32 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. This release marks the first time the two remaining original Cash Money Millionaires have teamed up for an album and the fifth time one of Wayne’s LPs has debuted in the Top 10. Miami representative Pitbull debuts at #17 with 48K copies of his second studio LP, El Mariel. UK rapper Lady Sovereign lands at #48 with about 18K units moved of her Def Jam debut Public Warning. Elsewhere on the charts, we see the soon to be ex-husband of pop princess Brtiney Spears, Kevin Federline, just barely making the Top 200 with around 6K copies sold of his hip-hop debut Playing With Fire. Also worth noting is the debut of the latest mixtape from Beanie Sigel, SPS and Mojo Entertainment, Still Public Enemy #1, which debuted at #192 with 5K copies sold.

  • Hova Tha Top

    Lil’ Wayne is tha King! I can’t believe K-Fed sold 6,000 copies…lame

  • weezybaby

    wayne thats was up my nigga taking over

  • SUPERMAN

    WOW! THATS IT? UNDER 177K? EVEN WITH THAT TREMENDOUS AIRPLAY? DAMN THATS ONLY 34,000 MORE THAN BANKS, WHO WASNT GETTIN AIRPLAY AT ALL. HIP HOP IS GOING DOWN AND ALL YOU FAGGOTS TALKING GAME GOING 1 MILL FIRST WEEK OUT MUST BE OUTTA THIER FUCKING MINDS. YOU GAME FANS WILL BE LUCKY IF THE NIGGA EVEN GETS 200K FIRST WEEK OUT. PLATINUM MY ASS, NO HATE JUST THE TRUTH!

  • ak

    wow they sold under 117k in there first week at number 3
    didnt Diddy go 170 in his first week and get number 1.

  • weezybaby

    ass holes ^^^ other albums came out like them cracker muthafuckers suck a dick u faggots

  • Harlem G

    it wasnt what i expected, but it did beat banks and diddy like i said…

  • Harlem G

    ALSO, if this was just a Lil Wayne solo, it would’ve sold alot more, with Baby being on there, it turned alot of people off, real talk

  • Young L

    Thats pretty good for that album not that much radio play for both Weezy and Baby but they should go gold

  • SUPERMAN

    AND K-FED RELEASED AN ALBUM? WHEN? HAHA THAT NIGGA’S GONNA NEED MORE THAN PRICKNEY AND THAT PHONEY PINK WEARIN CAMRON COPYCAT MOVEMENT TO SELL…NO WAIT THAT FAGGOT WILL NEVER SELL WHAT DUMBFUCK EVEN BOUGHT THAT TRASH?

  • alleyeCNtower

    “ALL YOU FAGGOTS TALKING GAME GOING 1 MILL FIRST WEEK OUT MUST BE OUTTA THIER FUCKING MINDS. YOU GAME FANS WILL BE LUCKY IF THE NIGGA EVEN GETS 200K FIRST WEEK OUT.”

    - the ugly truth :D

    next week, we’ll see the result of the bomb dropping. The Aftermath will be gruesome.

    Game is fucking delusional to think he’s going to break a mil in one week. They ain’t even playing that song ‘Strip Club’ a lot, anywhere, it’s not a hit of the Dr. Dre classic caliber…

    oh, this is going to be good.

    and I’m sorry, but why am I happy that Lady Sov only sold 18,000 copies? She too much of a gimmick, and hip hop don’t need a white female foreign gimmick right now.

    It needs a smart, skilled, fresh Black man to tell everyone: follow the leader.

    Nasty Nas, what’s good? Is the album ready? :)

  • lamborr

    wayne looks like homeless crack head in that picture!!!

  • fromtha”A”shawty

    BABY IS TRASH but cant wait till carter 3 hits stores best song on this lp is that “Wake up in tha morin take a piss and wash my hands take a knee and thank tha man and get back to that money ye aint no” haha hot track

  • art oro

    yeah Game Over

  • HONEYKISS

    im sure the album is okay i havent heard it but that picture they have of wayne up there is funny and ugly as hell

  • koofiesmacker

    Bottom line Nobody wants to by trash any more,…not that Wayne album is trash, but peeps Want to know what they getting’, we don’t want to “stunt like ur daddy” , or “hang w/ our chain down low”…and not that it matters to me, b/c I never fucks w/ them N.O niggas, but the whole Kissing fiasco cost them a lot of fans too which equals album sales. As far as K-fed goes, who ever coped his album needs to get hung for hip hop treason next to Sadam Hussein.
    Now As Far as Game Album Goes, he won’t do a mill, 1st week, but he will push big Numbers.

  • BirdsFlySouth

    Them dudes shouldn’t have kissed b/c the album is pretty good. Hip Hop just ain’t ready for grown men to be kissing.

    K-Fed got dumped by Brit then his album sells 5k. lol!!!!!!!!!!

  • BirdsFlySouth

    XXL how are Banks, Luda, and Diddy doing this week?

  • http://www.WordofSouth.com L.B.
  • champ

    170 k? Man..now a days thats a succesful first week sales…shit…lil brain…i mean lil wayne did alright

  • http://www.myspace.com/corinnemq Corinne

    Damn, I know they can do better then this. People need to stop with the whole Limewire, Napster bullshit. These papi’s too good to just be placed at #3.I ‘m still wondering why puff ever hit sales in the first place, who are these people anyways?…him?

  • tommy duke

    k-feds album is the bomb I cant take it out of my stereo I bought all I bought all 6,000 copies hes so cool hes my hero

  • PUMBIZZLE FROM JAMAICA

  • http://WWW.MYSPACE.COM/LARRYBRITE Larry_Brite

    Ummm . . . Call it what you wanna, but The Game pushed 5 mill w/ Curtis Interscope Jackson droping him from g-unit twice! Uh-Yea, the singles are hot & game hasen’t sold out to vitiman water yet – He’s pushing AT LEAST a mill. in a month. (Give him that much ya HAITERS)

  • Jason Mckenzie

  • BAAINAAR

    ^^^^^^^^^

    DOESNT MATTER IF THEY WERE EVEN # 100, AIRPLAY ISNT MEASURED BY WHAT POSITION THEY COME IN BUT BY HOW MUCH THEYRE BEING PLAYED ON RADIO AND TV. AND THAT SONG IS RECYCLED ON 106 & PARK. CANT GET MORE AIRPLAY THAN THAT.
