A few years ago, Lil Wayne's faced a similar situation with the release of his The Carter III album; it debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 1,005,545 copies in its first week.
With this in mind, it would seem like a good idea to follow this approach.
On the contrary, it's a well-known fact that Lil Wayne doesn't want any artist on his label to be 'bigger' than he is. (read my blog on Jay-Z been out-rapped by Kanye West on Run This Town) A few years ago, rapper Curren$y's album was constantly pushed back and as a result he left the label.
Who knows why it happens, I guess we'll stay tuned to see if Drake can sell a milli too!
