Lil Wayne and his first-chart topper "The Carter III" nabs Hot Shot Debut honors at No. 1, according to Billboard.

The set moved an astounding 1,006,000 units in its first week, making it only the 15th album to sell at least a million in one week since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991.

On the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, Wayne is also No. 1, but he's not the Hot Shot Debut, as street-date violations forced his album onto the chart early last week.

So, the top debut this week is actually Plies' "Definition of Real" at No. 2. That matches his previous high, when "The Real Testament" also debuted in the runner-up slot last year.

Wayne also scores the Hot Shot Debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with "3 Peat" at No. 66.

Country duo Montgomery Gentry ropes the Hot Shot Debut on Top Country Albums with "Back When I Knew It All" starting at No. 3. All seven of the act's albums have bowed in the top 10.
