J. Cole’s debut album, “Cole World: The Sideline Story,” opens at number 1 with 217,825 records sold in its’ first week of sales. This tops Wiz Khalifa’s first week sales of 197k despite him having a number one single with, “Black & Yellow.” Did anyone of you expect this much success in the first week? What does this mean for Hip Hop?
“J Cole’s success is testament to amazing artist development and Cole’s hard work,” stated Shawn “JAY Z “Carter. “I want to congratulate him on a #1 album and more importantly a great body of work.”
