Kelly (12), and Eminem (11). The album also entered the Top Rap Albums chart at No. 10, and the Billboard 200 at No. 2. Additionally, 17 tracks from Tha Carter VI made their way onto the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, giving Lil Wayne his 53rd Top 10 hit of his career, surpassing Aretha Franklin for the third-most Top 10s in the chart’s history, behind only Drake (138) and James Brown (57).
