LIL WAYNE SCORES TOP SELLING ALBUM IN AMERICA

LIL WAYNE's THA CARTER III has become the first album to top the annual bestsellers list in America without making it to three million sales.

Lil Wayne performing live on stage at the WGCI Big Jam 2008 at United Center. Chicago, Illinois, USA - 27.12.08

The rapper's hit album crashed into the top of the Billboard charts last summer (08) shifting a million copies, but it failed to make it to three million sales, rounding off the year with 2.88 million.

That's still enough to claim 2008's top seller, easily beating Coldplay's Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends and Taylor Swift's Fearless, which closed out the year with 2.11 million sales.

Rounding out the top five in America are Kid Rock's Rock N Roll Jesus and AC/DC's Black Ice.
