New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Lil Wayne's highly anticipated 13th solo studio album, Funeral, debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 Chart. Released via

Wayne also stopped by The
Tonight Show with
Jimmy Fallon to deliver a high-energy performance of "
Dreams", as well as participate in a hilarious game of Virtual Reality Pictionary alongside Claire Danes, Lana Candor and Fallon.
