Lil Wayne has replaced Kendrick Lamar as having the top rap album on Billboard\u2019s Hip Hop Albums chart.<\/p>\n
Source: HipHopDX<\/a><\/p>\n Tha Carter VI may have failed to land the top spot on the Billboard 200, being kept to number two by country star Morgan Wallen but it is now the number one rap album in the US.<\/p>\n Kendrick Lamar\u2019s GNX had been the number one rap album for the prior seven weeks but Wayne\u2019s first week album sales are enough to send him over the Compton superstar.<\/p>\n It is only the ninth week of the entire year where GNX has not been the number one rap album.<\/p>\n In its first week on sale, Tha Carter VI sold 108,000 equivalent units.<\/p>\n In comparison, Wayne\u2019s last solo album, Funeral, debuted at number one and sold 139,000 equivalent units in its first week of release.<\/p>\n It is also a significant drop off from Tha Carter V\u2018s opening week sales of 480,000 in 2018.<\/p>\n The album also garnered the lowest debut week sales for any entries in Tha Carter series as well as Wayne\u2019s entire near 30 year career.<\/p>\n Tha Carter VI was perhaps most notable for its eclectic features which includes U2 lead singer, Bono.<\/p>\n The two link up on the anthemic \u201cThe Days\u201d which was previously debuted during a promo for the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n On the track, Wayne references his status as an elder statesman in Hip Hop, rapping: \u201cI ain\u2019t getting younger, but I\u2019m getting better \/ No time to waste that\u2019s another man\u2019s treasure \/ They say every dog has hit day.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more…. https:\/\/hiphopdx.com\/news\/lil-wayne-replaces-kendrick-lamar-top-rap-album-charts<\/a><\/p>\n
