Lil Wayne's 'Tha Carter IV' to break iTunes record


Lil Wayne's new album Tha Carter IV is on course to break the iTunes record for single-week album sales.

The LP has already reached 300,000 downloads via iTunes alone over four days, and is on track to reach combined digital and physical sales of 850,000 for its first week of release.

Wayne has handily beaten the previous iTunes record set last month by Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch the Throne, which achieved 290,000 iTunes downloads in a single week.

The rapper brought the release of Tha Carter IV forward after the album leaked online, releasing it digitally at midnight straight after this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

Wayne took a shot at Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé on the song 'It's Good' from his new album.
