As a result of Nielsen SoundScan's Building Chart analyse, Lil Wayne will easly bow at No. 1next week on Billboard 200, reveals Billboard.com

The rapper's new Cash Money/Universal album "Tha Carter III" is expected to take number one. Unweighted first-day sales of "Tha Carter III" at nine leading accounts through the close of business on June 10, stood at 423,000.

That would easily give Wayne the biggest sales week of the year, surpassing the 463,000 start that greeted Mariah Carey's "E=MC2," and the best since Kanye West's "Graduation" started with 957,000 last year.

To compare, "Graduation" saw a first-day Building number of 437,000 from eight accounts, about 3% more than that posted by "Carter."

Billboard estimates the nine merchants who report to Nielsen SoundScan's Building chart Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Circuit City, iTunes, Starbucks, Borders, Target, Anderson Merchandisers and Handleman Co.
