Years of delays apparently didn’t affect the demand for Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V. Weezy’s long-awaited album, which dropped last Friday (September 28), is poised to achieve the third largest streaming week in history.

According to Billboard, industry forecasters are expecting Tha Carter V to rack up more than 400 million on-demand audio streams in the U.S. in its opening week. If correct, Wayne would only trail Drake’s Scorpion (749.5 million streams) and Post Malone’s beerbongs & bentleys (431.3 million) for the most first-week streams.
