Lil Wayne dropped his new album Funeral earlier this month and in the process, secured his 82nd Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with “I Do It” featuring Big Sean and Lil Baby.
According to Billboard, this means Weezy now has more Top 40 hits than the late Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Eminem.
The song entered the chart at No. 33 along with three other Funeral cuts — “Mahogany” (No. 61), “Mama Mia” (No. 87) and the title track (No. 88).
Wayne trails only Drake who is in the No. 1 spot with 100 Top 40 hits and just inched passed Presley who died in 1977 with 81. However, it’s important to note the Hot 100 began in 1958, two years after Presley’s commercial breakthrough.
The NOLA-bred rap star also has more Top 40 hits than Taylor Swift, Elton John, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, The Glee cast, The Beatles, JAY-Z and Rihanna.
Funeral, Wayne’s thirteenth studio album, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and marked his fifth time topping the chart. The project sold roughly 139,000 album equivalent units in its opening week, moved 38,000 units in pure albums sales and reeled in a streaming count of approximately 134 million.
Except Elvis and The Beatles had 1000x less marketing, less resources, no music videos, no social media, no online marketing, and Elvis even did his during fucking war times. Comparing these people to the likes of Elvis, or The Beatles is laughable.
Agreed! Trust.
Yeah but he’s black so it’s a much bigger accomplishment. Could Elvis or the Beatles sell that well in a country where they are oppressed and the minority? Maybe but not likely.
Lol wayne grew up rich. Wasnt oppressed at all.
He waent born rich! In fact, he lived in poverty. Hardest hood in NOLA. And overcame many obstacles that could have lead him in a completely different direction. Streets of new Orleans ain’t no joke!!! Str8up. When you poor and hungry it’s easy to just go rob and kill a mf and take what the fuck you want so you can survive. So, with all that said. To your comment that he grew up rich. Well, only because by the age of 12 he realized that the hunger he had to survive was different from the rest. He wanted more for himself than the average. He work for that money and deserves every pennie of it!! He earned it and knows the difference between not having shit and having it all. Therefore He APPRECIATES that shit. People have hated on him and stole from him and he still doing the damn thing!! He is a lyrical poetic musically inclined genius. He cant be stopped!! He deserves his position of power because not only can he just off the top his head spit the craziest unpredictable of the wall realest words in a way that no other can touch. He also has the ability to know how to be the business man that he is. He stays current and knows what people want so he produces what he knows will keep that money coming!! He is humble and never forgets where he’s from. Karma is always gonna be in his favor because of his good heart and soul. No comparison to any other rapper…. there are many great ones but he stands in a completely different bracket on many different levels.
Yeah because black people are so oppressed aren’t they… Retard
Eh… I thought that was common knowledge you idiot.
stupid motherfucker.
Where the fuck is Wayne an oppressed minority FOH Black people haven’t been oppressed in America a single fucking day during his lifetime, delusional fucks.
Elvis is one of the biggest selling artists in China, you want to talk oppression they still have slaves TODAY and you fucking hypocrite Americans are buying Jordan’s made by them.
During the war times really?? like war isn’t known to be an economy booster in the US lol try again and on top of that he was a thief. Don’t be trying to downplay another man’s achievements foh
There was no competitors then….
Lesser artists then compared to now
You’re right that nasal white boy is a better rapper and has outsold Wayne in about every way possible. Eminem’s trailer trash even outsells Drake and em continues to be the number one selling rap artist of all time. I admit that. Eminem still bumps in the greasy trailer sewers though. You have to admit, Wayne’s and Drake’s autotune is sexy. Look at Wayne’s dreads though. They look like poop logs.
Props to wayne. Garbage music and way too much autotune to take his music seriously, but congrats.
All terrible artists. Pops fans will buy any bullshit possible. They can’t tell good music from bad. Artists like prince sold less records but has more talent. Anyone can have a number #1 album today. Lil poop can have an album called shorty shit stain: the pop version and still have a #1 album. Real Music die in 2000.
-thinks eminem is the greatest rapper EVER!!!
idk bout him, but i think he’s definitely on of em
Compare to whom! No hip hop artists is losing sleep over m. Hip hop is about dope albums. M has watered down albums for the pop crowd. M had to leave hip hop because he couldn’t compete. Hip hop artists laugh behind m’s back. They appease him just to get some of the pop audience. Why shoot yourself in the foot unless it’s necessary. M is the best to the know nothing pop crowd.
Thanks for your very well spoken opinion.. Em’s fans are pathetic.. I think post Malone is better because he stay in his lane.. he’s wack and he knows it.. yet he’s found an audience.. Em is turd and I’m glad he’s been flushed .. he’s been stinking up the industry for way too long..King WIGG and the whole wigga hop movement is cornball.. peck shit.. I’m here with a bunch of black rap fans.. laughing.. keep hitting them with facts

Eminem has outsold Wayne more than three times in the US and his latest album outsold Wayne’s latest by two times. No stan is losing sleep. Now lemme go wash my big white pp before I go to sleep. Got a date with Monique tomorrow. Holla! Love them chocolate girls!
Wayne’s protege : Drake aka Champagne Papi.. aka the 6 GOD ALMIGHTY has erased every musically inclined peckapoo that ever tried to yodel or say a sadly offbeat insufficient rhyme.. Em aka the disgustingly annoyingly nasal booger eater and parody wappa included.. suck his dick..eat a black chicks ass.. dildo yourself to death.. whatever you do it doesn’t matter.. wigga hop is dead..
Lol Wayne was dope years ago. Now his raspy ass voice with auto tune is just muck. Eminem is a rap god. Your brain must have been filled with so much shit, I can smell your halitosis thru my screen.
NO! Your wrong.. you’re not of the culture.. you’re less than bird shit on the park bench of hip hop .. you lame , lethargic, lackluster dick rider… Stay in your own lane… eat a mayonnaise sandwich.. suck a dick shut up..
Hahaha keep up whitey mc white white.. you like rap? You listen to hip hop? You know about music??? Lol hahaha what? You like Bart Simpson don’t you.. still watching South Park aren’t you.. Em, The Butthead Surfers, The chain smokers, Tame Impala, Taylor Swift I bet that’s you wigga hop top 5.. you little bitch.. shut up.. I bet you’re in the mayo mob.. I bet you’re gonna make wigga hop great again.. you ain’t shit
Yes! Erase all whiteness from this earth and history books.. remove all their statues, rename all their streets.. destroy mount rushmore replace them with black rappers faces etc.. WYPIPO BE RAYCISS N SHIEEEEEEEEEEET
I come to the comments and I see a bunch of idiots here wishing they could eat one rapper d*** or another.
Why do you all care if your favourite rapper sold more or less than the other. You ain’t getting money when they break records stupids! Just enjoy the music and stop wishing you could eat their dick

Yet in 50 years no one will have any clue who he is.
Who is Elvis?
thats a lie
WE WUZ KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGZ
Yet every song of Little Ugly sucks and almost every rapper sounds the same today….. like a drunk crying robot (except for a very few) And not one person will even know his name in 7-10 years. Hell Childish Gambino is more original than Lil Ugly.
LMAO. Sorry. He will never out do Elvis. Elvis is still called the King.
The Beatles ruled .
People have bad taste on music now, anybody can hit #1 as long as he/she sings something with f*** word.
