As they dominate the charts with three different artists, Cash Money Records proves they have a long way to go before you can count them out.
Lil' Wayne's fourth solo album, The Carter, is the highest selling album is the South currently and is riding high at no. 5 on Billboard's Top 200 albums chart. Fueled by the lead single "Bring It Back," the new album is on it's way to moving more units than the rapper's last three solo albums combined.
Cash Money Classics' Teena Marie is currently on tour and recently shot a video for her second single, "A Rose By Any Other Name," featuring R&B crooner Gerald Levert.
And Juvenile is enjoying success with his biggest radio hit to date with "Slow Motion" from Juve The Great, which is nearing platinum sales. "Slow Motion" which features the late Soulja Slim, is currently the no. 1 song on both Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop and Rap charts.
With the tremendous success the label is having, they aren't slowing down. They are currently hard at work on their next projects. In-house producer, Mannie Fresh, is prepping his solo debut and CEO Baby is working on his sophomore follow-up to 2003's The Birdman.
Ronald "Slim" Williams, CEO and Baby's brother, is very happy with the success and says "we are proud of the level of success we've been able to achieve with Universal Records. The label will announce new signings shortly."
