Jay-Z Kanye West Lil Wayne Tha Carter IV Watch the Throne

September 5th, 2011

Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter IV” smashed the single-week iTunes album sales record set last month by Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “Watch the Throne,” needing only four days to hit the 300,000 downloads mark.

“Watch the Throne” sold 290,000 units through iTunes in its first full week.

The outstanding iTunes debut for “Tha Carter IV” comes despite the material leaking online ahead of its release date, and even though, unlike “Watch the Throne,” Lil Wayne’s album was made available through a wide range of outlets – not just iTunes – from Day One.

Connor Cruise, son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, is an aspiring DJ, and HollywoodLife claims the 16-year-old just made a major move in his career.

The site picks up a report from the equally lame MediaTakeOut that says Cruise “has been tapped by Lil Wayne to be part of his Young Money & Cash Money Billionaires roster.”

“He will allegedly be producing beats at the label,” adds HollywoodLife, “and may even go on tour with some of the most famous artists, including Lil Wayne and Drake!”
