Lana Del Rey has been under a microscope since last year, but despite negative reviews from naysayers, the deluxe version of the singer’s new album ‘Born to Die’ debuted at No. 1 on iTunes’ albums chart.
Just last month, Kanye West and Jay-Z‘s collaboration, ‘Watch the Throne,’ set an iTunes record by selling 290,000 units in the first week after its release.
But since records are made to be broken, that’s exactly what Lil Wayne did. His ‘Tha Carter IV’ album was downloaded 300,000 times in just four days, setting an impressively high standard — especially since it was not sold exclusively through iTunes, like ‘Watch the Throne’ was.
