Lil Wayne's Up Next
WEEZY COME, WEEZY GO: With Watch the Throne off and running at retail (see below), what does that mean forUniversal Republic’s Lil Wayne, whose Tha Carter IV streets next Monday (8/29)? Probably very little, in that Wayne’s first single is #1 at both Urban and Rhythm, while the second debuted Top 10 at iTunes last week, lending credence to those 825k first-week estimates. The likelihood, then, is that Monte Lipman’s hot streak will continue, as promotion chief Joel Klaiman keeps the pedal to the metal at radio. Meanwhile, some of that heat is coming from Republic Nashville, a joint venture with Scott Borchetta’s Big Machine, as The Band Perry continues to climb the Pop charts. (8/25p)
