The relatively unknown rapper's mainstream debut single knocked down R&B songstress Alicia Keys' "No One" from the top spot last week and crushed Fergie's "Fergalicious" single-week sales record of 294,000 selling 470,000 digital copies.
In other Digital charts news, Lil Wayne's digital EP, The Leak, managed to sell over 2,400 copies after its surprisingly quiet release on Christmas Day.
The EP, which was supposed to be a prelude to Wayne's Carter III album, showed up on online retailers after Wayne’s label, Universal, confirmed that the project would no longer be coming out in December.
In other news…
Though fans of the New Orleans rapper have been anticipating the release of the Carter III, it appears that they chose to pass on the EP as its first week were too low for it to show up on the Billboard charts.

Hmm.. Is this Flo Rida guy gonna
make a lot of sales or something?
Cuz that's what it's looking like..
Negative The The Song Fire But Only Because TPain Killed The Chorus And Its A Mean Club Banger But Album Sales I Doubt It..Not Knockin Dude Tho He Gotta Put Out More
FLO RIDA SUCKZ ASS
tpain make that shit
this song is really anoying, its just the white clubbers buying it
that wayne cd has 5 songs. its on amazon.com. they all "old" to the datpiff.com weezy fan base. basically everyone alllllready had that shit
Damn Wayne 2,400? WTF? I know that's not tecnhically his new album but still Wayne is the most popular/hottest rapper out and he only managed to move that much? He really needs to come with that fire on Carter 3 now.
Not a lot of people is gonna pay for about 5-8 songs..
^^I would agree with that statement but I can't. Wayne is in his prime. If Jay dropped 5-8 songs in his prime (99-03) that shit would do crazy numbers. Same goes for 50, Em, Snoop, DMX etc... if any of them dropped 5-8 songs in their Primes they would do crazy numbers, waaaaaaayyyyyy more than 2,400. Wayne needs to step his game up if he really wants that "best rapper alive" title. His low ass sales is proof of that.
and yet 470,000 people paid for a single song.
a single song is 2-3 dollars
This Ep 6-8 dollars (all old material and only 5 songs)
That would be the difference maker.
I agree... he needs to drop it ASAP!
He's gonna fuck around be another PAPOOSE!
Meaning someone that had all of the Buzz in the world and then Lost it... (he dropped the challupa! [inside joke: circa: '98])
Also I hate that fuckin' Flo-Rida song...but i must admit I find myself humming that shit while in the office alot! Weird! Kids love the Barney-Ish hooks!
~Be Eazy!
Yeah, honestly I wouldn't pay that for 5-8 songs either. I don't even know, where online to cop it. Anyone seen the track listing? If it's a bunch of recycled songs that have appeared on the umpteen thousand mixtapes he has out, I won't even bother to listen.
It Woulda Been Way More Copies If It Were An Actually CD And People Actually Knew It Was Comin Out And If It Wasnt On The (INTERNET) Its Called Easy Download.. Who Buys A EP
nobody even knew he was STILL droppin the leak...
besides all 5-8 songs EVERYONE has already heard...
its like buying a fish from a store and flushing it down the toilet to see if it comes back up...
stupid...
the carter 3 will be like a mirror image of graduation his fan base is to heavy
im not even suprised by this fareal, of course waynes shit only gon move 2400. like everyones said already, its only like 8 tracks, EVERYONES heard em, and most likely EVERYONES already got em. all these tracks is songs thats been out on his previous mixtapes that EVERYONE was bangin so of course no one gon buy "the leak" they already got it in one form or another. dumb move by weezy, i think he dropped it low key cuz he knew that bitch wasnt gon sell and he needed a excuse as to why it didnt "no one knew it was out so it aint sell" kinda bullshit...this nigga better cmoe correct wit C3 or hes done.
Think about it, Wayne is smart. the dude just put money in his pocket by selling 5 damn songs that people allrady heard, shit poeple already have them on they mixtapes for months now. That was the whole plan for the leak if you listened to the interviews.... And i live in miami, Flo- Rida is a good rapper, but he is smart for reaching out to the crowd that he did, if he get the suburban white boysand the white kids then thats how you get sales, but all his music isnt like that, that nigga could spit with that real shit, go on 24hourhiphop.com and you can hear alot of his songs
mAN DA ONLY REASON A NIGGA Aint buyin dat shit cause all of dem songs been out lik a month and a half before da leak came out..... So wat da point of buyin a cd wit songs u already heard and been listen 2.....WAYNE A BEAST!! [FUCK EM ALL]
does anybody realize how meager an amount 2400 copies is? Is that a typo or is little waynes bullshit music actually doing the numbers that it should do? I would have thought that all the fucking retards at MTV that told him he was the hottest rapper alive would at least BUY his records! what gives? "BUT HES SOOOOO GANGSTA!... HES GOT TEARDROP TATTOOS!!!"
where are the caped crusading wayne stan's?
will they come to weezy's rescue?
is weezy crying in the bosom of baby?
did baby kiss him to quite the tears?
tune in same wayne time, same wayne channel!
all rappers should only do digitals on opening day and stores a week later to stop leaks from happening before the release
dnt like lil wayne that much but thats kinda poor for him though aint 2,400
the only reason he got 2,400 is bcuz NOBODY KNEW ABOUT THE RELEASE!
daaaaaaam wayne-iacs it speaks for itself but i aint gone trash wayne yet cus it aint like it was his album i wouldnt of bought the shit either str8 download status for dat im still patiently waiting on C-3 and for the record flo-rida is ASS but good for him tho
shit, i didnt even know the leak came out, i forgot all about that
I KNOW 4RSHO I AINT KNOW ABOUT THE RELEASE
I THOUGHT ANY AND ALL NEW/OLD WAYNE SHIT WOULD BE OUT IN 08
BUT THINK ABOUT IT...
WHO IS GONNA BUY ANY SONGS ON THAT LEAK ALBUM IF THEY ALREADY GOT IT ON THEIR IPODS, MIXTAPES, ETC?
I KNOW I AINT GONE GET IF ITS 8 SONGS(idk how many tracks on the CD) BUT THE C3 WILL BE HOT.
@ Da - God....ok but lets dig a little deeper on that..did u even know that Lil Wayne leak was official...I thought it was a mixtape as did a bunch of others so that probably hurt...as far as Wayne goes...even if u dont like him he did pretty well this year not to even Drop a CD...who else gets this much attention without a release.....
That "Low" song is hot. I thought it would be hot when I first heard it. Big ups to FloRida for the success.
man that dude flo-rida is trash man. it's just a song for the club that's all. i ain't even herd the cd but i can pretty much tell it won't have any substance to it. as for wayne, what do u expect from someone who's fan base downloads the hell outta his songs. oh well, he'll still sell about 2 to 3 million when the official album drops.
wayne was leanin out of his mind if her thougth he was gonna sell that.... I Luv the mayne n erthing I think he's runnin late on production for c3 cause all the good shyt was leaked and had to put SOMETHING out before he fire trail burnt out..So i think c3 is gonna be crazy buh that (leaked) shyt was a real smart dumb move by wayne.
ummm u love him?
nevamind i thought u was a dude ma bad
o yea FLO- RIDA BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Weezy'z EP iz pure cracc luv dat shit bro.
Damn that is crazy only 2,400 copies but thats how many ppl there are that actually use EP. Also, no one even knew the joint was coming out. It just dropped and there was no announcement so its like wtf?? I went to the store to cop it on Dec. 18th and it was no where to be found. So I dunno whats goin on over at CashMoney but it ain't lookin good.
I DONT WANT NO CAKE ON MY BIRTHDAY I WANT MY CAKE ERRRRYDAY
waynes a beast stop hatin jus wait for C3 dats all der is to say
da songz on da leak nigga dun had already
Flo Rida = one hit wonder... i hate cats like this who think there on top of the game then in 6 months there career is overrr.
its waynes own fault hes waiting to much i think this big hype is over
he looks gay
he looks like somebody's fatha wit dat haircut
flo-rida been doin his thing for a minute
MI-YAYO STAND DA FUCK UP
the carter III will probably still go platinum, but not if he keeps pushing the shit
as quick as wayne stans are quick to jump up on any lil wayne topic, wayne haters are even quicker.
I got to ask... does anyone even realize he put it out? was there any word from the label or wayne himself on a mass scale.
what someone pointed out before is true... regardless of what you may say he's everywhere and he still didn't drop an album all of '07.
as for flo rida... its a good look on him. songs hot and as usual people quick fast to judge and say he has no substance off one song.
zzzzzz
wow.wayne didnt drop an album all of 07?
is that what u really think?
bcuz if u do think that then u havnt paid to much attention.he dropped 2 if u count this one.
but this dosnt really count tho bcuz its all old tracks that everybody herd.thats why it didnt sell.bcuz it aint fresh shit.but did u 4get about like father like son?
yeaa buddy thats an album...where do u think stuntin like my dAddy and leather so soft came from? haha ur a dumbass.
nah man ur the fuckin dumbass like father like son dropped in 2006 in october
man you boys crazy wayne puts out all them songs and theres no need for ne one to get them wit the C3 album droppin and the I can't feel my face vol.2 droppin in da 08' so wait a minute yeaa heard me.
who cares about Flo Rida anyways hes garbage, and for wayne that dont matter either, its called the LEAK cuz its all the songs we stole online why would you buy it when you already have it....C-3 is gonna be fire, ppl sayin hes gonna lose hype well the sooner we stop bootleggin every song he makes for the C-3 we will get an album
and i'll bet anybody that the carter 3 goes double platinum.
Wack .
lol i dont get why tha wanye haters got on here to trash wayne... b4 a wayne fan started his diccin haters were already there lol..
C-3 is gunna go platinum jus cuz its new wayne.. like fayher lik son wasnt evn that good.. it was jus new music from wayne so people bought..
an if tha C-3 is fire like it should bke then it will go double
let me help you understand why the wayne haters get on here so quick to trash little wayne.
1. he has got to be the most phony gangster since vanilla ice. he talks about the teardrop tattoos he got are from killing niggaz... NIGGA PLEASE.
2. he said he would not only kill his enemies but their BABIES too... NIGGA PLEASE.
3. I like the fact that he stays in the studio and kicks raps over used beats, thats cool, thats actually hip hop and SOME of his raps are creative and new. BUT sorry wayne, MOST of them are pretty fucking stupid.
This of course is just my opinion and nobody has to give a fuck what im saying. But wayne is whack as fuck to me and he looks like the wicked witch's flying monkey from the wizard of oz.
only reason the Flo-Rida song is selling is b/c Teddy Pinned Her Ass Down is on the hook. as for D'wayne Carter everyone has already heard the leaked songs on a 1,000 different mixtapes, so why go by it. and the article said it was only for sale online.
damn i didnt know they put the leak out. whats funny is the leak was free and he could only sell 2400 copies of a free cd. how can u expect to sell records when no one knows they exist. oh wait did they say for sale? well thats why. that and the fact that no one new its was out. lol. i heard he re did the verese tho but i had no idea they still released it. i guess since birdmans album dropped onn the 13 people woulda said fuck birdman i can get a free wayne cd instead so now cashmoney got cheap and just put it on sale. wheres our chrismas gift nigga?
wtf nigga u dumb? The fuckin' CD not free... Who would put time and effort into puttin' out a free CD u dumb nigga... And no shit he only sold 2400 U EVEN SAID IT.... NO ONE KNEW IT CAME OUT! Also it was only available on digital EP....
he said it was free dumbass. with new verses and everything so check your sources befor you open yo mouth dumb nigga. dont ask me if im stupid nigga cause we dont have nothin in common.
COME ON NOW WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MEDIA'S PROBLEM NO WAY THEY CAN COMPARE FLO-RIDA WIT LIL WAYNE SON THEY MUST BE ON THAT GOOD SHIT BUT YEA IF YALL DIDNT KNOW WAYNE MADE ONE OF HIS SONGS HOT "MAN OF THE YEAR" SEARCH IT AND LISTENIN TO IT HE'S NOT FUCKIN WIT WAYNE LYRICALLY OR ON HOT TRACKS FUCKIN T-PAIN MADE THAT SONG HOT..THIS NIGGA FLO-RIDA HAS NO FLOW BY THE WAY WAT THE FUCK KINDA NAME IS FLO-RIDA
i call my brother sun cuz he shine like one. not son. sun. and since you wanna stick up for lil wayne and im on a wayne hating spree right now- fuck you nigga. wayne talks about KILLING BABIES nigga, KILLING BABIES!!! what is with you little wayne dick handlers?
that clown thinks he is a "FLOW-RIDER" that's my guess!!!
hes from florida so put it together flo-rida
to scrillstar or whatever
you asked me if im dumb. now i dont have to ask you because i know for a fact that you are dumb. i can tell by your third grade sentences. for your information(not that it would do a retard like you any good) lil wayne was going to put the leak out for free. even after redoing the verses. i bet you would have been the only stupid nigga buyin it from your best friend who was never really your friend but only hung around you so he could play you for every penny you have. yes he was putting the leak out for free and you are an idiot for not knowing that. no... your not an idiot for not knowing. your an idiot for speakin without knowing what you were talking about. that is the mark of a true idiot. that and your name.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!! that nigga ethered you scrillstar!!! I have to admit, you are pretty dumb for acting like you knew some shit you had no idea about...
and having the name scrillstar. we know you live with yo mama nigga.
who lives with they mama? im 17 so yeah i do but i hope u were talkin about scrillstar. if so then thats even pathetic that he got dissed by a nigga so much younger than him. lol
my bad i said 13th when i meant 18th
gethip313! you gon' let him get away with that yo?
who are you talkin to?
he may rap about killin babies, but he soft.
No shit
No shit
Damn Wayne, that buzz that you had in '07 is fading fam. I think niggas are getting tired of waiting on the carter III. This nigga is oversaturating the airways with so many guest appearances. If he doesn't come hard on that Carter shit, that "best rapper alive" slogan that he like to toss around, might be looked at as a fucking joke. 2,400 copies? I think that's like double woodgrain or something...
Didn't Baby drop two albums since The Carter 2?
If so, wtf is that about?
everybody already had the leak long ago why would you buy it? plus it was released quietly no one new it was even out.
c3 gonna go triple plat
Well of course Wayne's wouldn't sell a lot. that had no new songs on it at all so why would someone go and buy it when it's not even new?
these are signs that c3 is just gonna be a long awaited anticipated FLOP
yea seeing as he's sold 3 billion copies in repeated mixtapes with maybe 5-7 legit new ones that made it out with new material I guess 2400 on some old songs wouldn't be all that great, give me a break
lol how did this fucking scrub sell any copies of that song? its hot garbage ... wtf is going on here??? also sorry but lil wayne has turned into lil layme... i bang that "Dey Know" remix with luda jeezy ... but whenever i hear weezy's line i just get pissed off.
"blue seat, white paint wetter than new rain" <<< uh... wtf??!?!
Man I be at work listening to the radio and they play that florida shit at least every other song!!!
That is freakin crazy!! One hit wonder, thats all the game has nowadays...
DOn't expect much more...
but in other news THAT FUCKING SCARFACE WAS FIRE!!!!! GO COP THAT MADE!!!!!! CLASSIC MATERIAL....
I WAS BLIND BUT NOW I SEE
flo ridas had other hot tracks before "low"
so how can he be a one hit wonder?
its just that lil waynes mixed tapes have a whole lot of the same songs on every single mixed tape that comes out by the different djs!!!!if you go to datpiff.com,youll see what im talking about....a different cd from this dude damn near every2 days!!!!the boy is sic with it...but to many mixed cds!!!
