MUSIC NEWS: LIL WAYNE "THA CARTER 3" PLATINUM IN A WEEK

Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III becomes the first album in more than three years to sell a million copies in a week. The opus sold 1,006,000 copies to debut at #1 on Nielsen/SoundScan's list of the best-selling albums in the U.S. That's the biggest sales week since another rap album, 50 Cent's The Massacre, bowed at #1 in March 2005 with sales of 1,141,000. This is surprising with all the illegal downloading of whole albums nowadays.
