Lil Wayne's ‘Tha Carter VI' First Week Sales Projections Paint A Telling Picture
Lil Wayne's long-anticipated studio album Tha Carter VI made a solid, though not spectacular, commercial impact in its first week of release. The album is projected to open with 110,000 album-equivalent units sold, according to Hits Daily Double, placing it at No. 2 on the Billboard 200—just behind country music juggernaut Morgan Wallen's chart-topping album I'm the Problem. Of those 110,000 units, 35,000 were physical copies, demonstrating continued fan interest in tangible editions of Weezy's music. Despite this respectable debut, Tha Carter VI marks a decline in first-week sales compared to Wayne's previous efforts. His 2020 release Funeral debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 139,000 units. Even more notably, Tha Carter V sold a massive 480,000 units in its debut week back in 2018, underscoring a noticeable slide in first-week performance over the years. While some fans celebrated the return of the iconic Carter series, others were less enthused. Critics and longtime listeners alike have voiced disappointment over the project's consistency and innovation. At the 2025 BET Awards, Lil Wayne delivered a fiery performance, reigniting nostalgia with his classic single 'A Milli' and his more recent cut, 'Welcome to the Carter.' The performance reminded audiences of the lyrical powerhouse he once was, even as Tha Carter VI sparked mixed reactions. While loyal fans welcomed the album as a continuation of a legendary legacy, many deemed it a lackluster effort from an artist once considered untouchable in Hip-Hop. In short, Tha Carter VI achieved solid first-week numbers, but its muted reception and declining sales reflect the evolving landscape of Wayne's career—and the high expectations that still surround his name.

The new June 21, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on June 17.

Lil Wayne's long-running Tha Carter series began in 2004 with the release of Tha Carter, which debuted and peaked at No. 5 on the July 17, 2004-dated Billboard 200. He followed it with Tha Carter II (No. 2, 2005), Tha Carter III (No. 1 for three weeks, 2008), Tha Carter IV (No. 1 for two weeks, 2011), Tha Carter V (No. 1 for one week, 2018) and now Tha Carter VI. Tha Carter VI was issued in a variety of configurations, including a standard digital download edition, a physical set with bonus tracks (on two CD variants [one signed] and three vinyl variants [one signed], and a deluxe CD boxed set with a T-shirt), an expanded digital download album and a streaming edition. During the set's first week of release, two further iterations of the album were issued as download and streaming editions — one with a remix of 'Banned from NO,' with Nicki Minaj, and another with that Minaj remix along with 'Momma Don't Worry,' with Future and Lil Baby. ENHYPEN collects its fifth consecutive, and total, top 10-charting set on the Billboard 200 as DESIRE: UNLEASH arrives at No. 3 with 100,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 95,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 5,000 (equaling 7.29 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. DESIRE: UNLEASH was available in its first week across 19 CD editions, all with the same audio but with packaging variations. Some editions were signed, and all contained collectible paper ephemera, some randomized. Addison Rae sees her debut full-length album, Addison, launch at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 48,500 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 25,500 (equaling 32.84 million on-demand official streams of its songs, it debuts at No. 13 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 23,000 (it debuts at No. 5 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The 24-year-old singer-actor got her start on TikTok in 2019 and made her Billboard Hot 100 chart debut with 'Diet Pepsi' in September 2024; the song buzzed to No. 9 on the Pop Airplay chart in February. She also got a high-profile collab in 2024 thanks to her guest turn on the remix of Charli xcx's Brat track 'Von Dutch.' The Addison album was available across four vinyl variants, a standard and signed CD, and a deluxe CD boxed set with a T-shirt, and a standard download and streaming edition — all containing the same tracklist. Addison includes Rae's three previous Hot 100-charting songs: 'Diet Pepsi,' 'Headphones On' and 'Fame Is a Gun.' SZA's former No. 1 SOS falls 3-5 on the Billboard 200 with 44,000 equivalent album units earned (down 5%). My Chemical Romance's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, released in 2004, reaches the top 10 of the Billboard 200 for the first time, as the set reenters at No. 6 following a deluxe reissue. It previously peaked at No. 28 in 2005. In total, Three Cheers marks the fourth top 10-charting effort for the band, and its second-highest-charting set — second only to the No. 2-peaking The Black Parade in 2006. Three Cheers also marks the band's first top 10 since April 2014, when the compilation May Death Never Stop You: The Greatest Hits 2001-2013 reached No. 9. In the tracking week ending June 12, Three Cheers earned nearly 44,000 equivalent album units (up 809%), with album sales comprising 37,000 (up 2,987% — it reenters at a new peak of No. 2 on Top Album Sales; it's the group's best sales week since Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys debuted with 112,000 in 2010), SEA units comprise 7,000 (equaling 8.88 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album's 44,000 units earned mark the band's best week by that metric since the Billboard 200 began ranking titles by units in December 2014. For its new deluxe edition, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge was issued across nine vinyl variants, and a CD, digital download and streaming edition — all with refreshed audio and bonus tracks. All versions of the album, old and new, are combined for tracking and charting purposes. A sweet album of a different kind, Sabrina Carpenter's chart-topping Short n' Sweet, rises one spot to No. 7 on the latest Billboard 200. It earned 41,000 equivalent album units in the latest tracking week (up 11%). Morgan Wallen's former leader One Thing at a Time dips 6-8 with 39,000 (down 4%). Rock band Turnstile nets its second chart entry, and first top 10, with the No. 9 debut of NEVER ENOUGH. It earned 38,000 equivalent album units — of which album sales comprise 27,500 (it debuts at No. 4 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise a little more than 10,000 (equaling 12.8 million on-demand streams of the set's songs) and TEA units comprise less than 500. The set's first-week units and album sales mark career-high frames for the group. NEVER ENOUGH — Turnstile's fourth full-length studio album — was preceded by its title track, which reached No. 11 on the Alternative Airplay chart in June. The group made its Billboard chart debut 10 years ago, when the album Nonstop Feeling reached No. 22 on the now-discontinued Heatseekers Albums chart in January 2015. NEVER ENOUGH was issued across more than a dozen vinyl variants and as a standard CD, cassette, digital download and streaming album, all containing the same tracklist. Rounding out the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200 is Kendrick Lamar's chart-topping GNX, which falls 7-10 with 36,000 equivalent album units earned (down 7%).

Billy Ray Cyrus Shares Throwback Family Photos for Father's Day
Billy Ray Cyrus is celebrating Father's Day with a trip down memory lane. The 'Achy Breaky Heart' star posted several family photos in honor of the day on Instagram and X, and wished a 'Happy Father's Day' to all those around him. The mini picture collection includes snapshots of Billy Ray and family members throughout the years. One cute highlight is a very young Miley Cyrus giving the camera quite a serious gaze while riding a pink, toddler-sized trike with handlebar tassels. More from Billboard Elizabeth Hurley Gushes About Being 'In Love' in Birthday Suit Picture Amid Billy Ray Cyrus Romance Fans Choose j-hope & GloRilla's 'Killin It Girl' as This Week's Favorite New Music Morgan Wallen's 'I'm the Problem' Spends First Month at No. 1 on Billboard 200 ''My Grandfather told my Father'… and luckily he taught me ….when your lost …. 'Stand Still'. Happy Father's Day to everyone ! Mothers… sisters ….brothers ….friends included !' Cyrus captioned the picture slideshow on Sunday (June 15). Apparently not shown in the country singer's Father's Day post is son Trace, who's seemingly had a fraught relationship as of late with Billy Ray, whom he recently said is 'the lamest man ever to walk planet earth.' The Metro Station musician referred to him as a 'delusional, evil person' last week — claiming he skipped the funeral of his 'Mammie,' the late mother of Tish Cyrus, back when Billy Ray was still married to Tish. His comments came upon seeing that Billy Ray 'flew to Italy for a fashion show' (with girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley). 'This man is so hungry for fame it's pathetic,' wrote Trace on June 10. Miley's had more positive thoughts to share. In an interview with The New York Times, the Something Beautiful singer shared candid remarks on her father's current relationship with the English actress. 'As I've gotten older, I'm respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents,' she said. 'My mom's really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard,' Miley explained. 'And so I think I took on some of my mom's hurt as my own, because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain. But now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too — I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing.' 'I'm being an adult about it,' she added. 'At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.' My child self has caught up.' See Billy Ray's Father's Day post on Instagram here.

Music reviews: Morgan Wallen and Kali Uchis
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Credit Morgan Wallen's ongoing domination of Billboard's album chart this decade to "a particular strain of the modern American mood," said Maura Johnston in Rolling Stone. "The love-me-or-leave-me attitude that animates his glowering songs is as American as apple pie," and the country megastar's new two-hour album plays that particular tune about three dozen times. The 32-year-old Tennessee native knows he's misbehaved more than once when he's been drinking, and he never pretends he's about to change. Some people love that; some hate it. The haters may miss that Wallen's polished country rock is "well-crafted and hooky while not being immune to the occasional stylistic left turn." The 37 songs on I'm the Problem are "mostly about consequences, which also makes them interesting," said Amanda Petrusich in The New Yorker. Sure, some lines are "unbearably corny," and the music is "utterly faceless." But Wallen is almost always "singing out the ways love can sour," exuding "the unpredictable energy of a wounded animal." Besides, he has "a kind of uncanny magnetism that can elevate a mediocre song." Kali Uchis is "a master of atmosphere," said Mark Richardson in The Wall Street Journal. The Colombian American singer "makes music that hangs in the air like a cloud of smoke," whether she's mining hip-hop-inflected soul or Latin club music. On her lush fifth studio album, she "goes even deeper into dreaminess, landing in a place best described as ambient R&B." The opener, "Heaven Is a Home," is about love and family, but the "swooning effect" of Uchis' vocals mixing with 1950s-style strings is "so transporting that the lyrics are easy to miss." Give Sincerely a close listen, though, and you'll discover that the album contains "her most revealing lyrics yet," said Suzy Exposito in the Los Angeles Times. The 30-year-old Grammy winner wrote these songs while reconciling with her terminally ill mother and preparing to give birth herself, and each track reads like a letter to someone she has loved. Sincerely is mildly monotonous, "like other people's happiness can be," said Alfred Soto in Pitchfork. Still, Uchis can be counted on to deliver "candy-colored reveries and gossamer love-me-downs." In that realm, she "hits a peak on Sincerely."
