Tha Carter III on pace to do Pearl Jam numbers

According to Billboard:

Unweighted first-day sales of "Tha Carter III" at nine leading accounts through the close of business yesterday (June 10), stood at 423,000. Sources close to the album project "Carter" could shift between 850,000-950,000 in its first full week. That would easily give Wayne the biggest sales week of the year, and the best since Kanye West's "Graduation" started with 957,000 last year.

I'm gonna take this as further proof of my theory that southern rap albums sell better because people down there aren't as good at using the Internets.
