Lil Wayne's new album Tha Carter VI sold 108,000 units during its first week on sale. The rap star earned 97.06 million streams and 34,000 pure sales but landed at number two on the Billboard chart. Morgan Wallen's I'm The Problem held the top spot for its fourth week running. Critics gave the album poor reviews and fans showed less excitement than previous Carter releases.
The album marks Wayne's lowest opening week sales among all Carter series projects. His 2020 release Funeral moved 139,000 units during its debut week. Tha Carter VI represents Wayne's first full album since Funeral and follows 2018's Tha Carter V after a five-year gap between major releases.
Wayne added bonus tracks after the album launch to boost interest. He released Banned From NO Remix featuring Nicki Minaj and Momma Don't Worry with Future and Lil Baby. The extra songs aimed to help the project gain more attention from listeners who had mixed reactions to the main album content.
