J.Cole Cole World Debuts At Number One
What you say Cole ain’t hot? According to Hits Daily Double, Jermaine’s debut, Cole World: The Sideline Story has sold an estimated 217,324 copies in its first week.
If the figure holds up, this will be the highest solo hip-hop debut this year. Congrats to the entire Roc Nation and Dreamville teams. Final tally comes tomorrow, but for now, Cole, the floor is yours.
So many people to stunt on, fighting the urge to be spiteful. This moment is too important for that. Just want to say THANK YOU.
Thanks to yall, we shook the game up. No chart topping single, just 2 years of hard work, great music and real ass fans. #1 album. Thanks to every fan that held me down, every friend, every blog, magazine, tv, radio station, dj’s and pd’s, I feel like we ALL won
UPDATE: Final number via SoundScan: 217,825
Digital: 93,174 | CD: 124,651
LMFAOOOOO AHAHAHAHAAHAHA COLE WORLD BITCH FUCK A HATER
Where are the people saying it was gonna flop?
my debut album is coming soon too.
its called “Rozay’s Weed Plate Carrier”
JCOLE just shit on every hater 217,324 times
Fuck the haters, he just proved all you motherfuckers wrong.
the album wasnt all that tho.. weak hooks and weak joints!
GREAT!!!
KEEP ON MAKING GREAT MUSIC
*waits for haters to say it was a wack album*
If it isn’t one thing it’s another. I’m happy for Cole. Good shit.
Congrats to the homie J. Cole. Roc Nation stand up !
No excuses, hot album and it sold a lot. Damm ya haters took a big ass L today…
200k is a flop. i was expecting 500 600k
Real talent over gimmicks anytime.
Yeah bitch ass niggas with no life like Black Shady will revel in this shit allday! His album was a 5/10 and that is stretching it. He wont hit platinum cause soon as Drake drops he’ll be forgotten about. Not hating just stating facts!
Its so funny how when other rappers go #1 or sell alot, u all shit on em yet u want somebody to support ur fav when he goes #1. Smh. Good job tho Cole. Its a win for HipHop and his first #1 album. Maybe a Grammy nom?
Highest solo hip-hop debut this year? How about this album called Tha Carter IV that sold about a million copies in its first week.. Well deserved though J Cole, album is straight fire!
Hats off to the Boy. Cole World was a great buy..
Great, now J.Cole would like to congrat himself for buying those extra copies at his album signing, as well lllloooollll
“It’s My Opinion, Deal With It !!!!”
no hit singles
WIN
People said that wayne wouldnt sell much when c4 dropped and he sold nearly a mili copies. People said that J. Cole wouldnt even push 100k and he did more than 200k. Just goes to show you what happens when u have a loyal fan base. fans>haters.
Congrats to J.Cole! This album was def worth buying and still on repeat. Favorite tracks are “Rise and Shine”, “Nobody’s Perfect”, and “Dolla and A Dream III.
Cole World> Watch the Throne> The Red Album> Tha Carter IV. Best album of 2011 so far in my opinion.
HOW THAT FEEL? VERY HAPPY HATERS !!
dope album
Oh by the way Styles P put out a ” Real” classic today. Fuck sales! Real Hip Hop stands the test of time!
My nigga @ZoomZoom J.Cole is a gimmick. Lets get thats sophomore album Cole!
@Muzik 200K is a success these days…especially for an up and comer…your fav can barely make 500K these days, so J Cole should be proud.
Cole World.

I am a Cole fan but stop it, this album was a bit of a disappointment. There were no tracks with the same energy he had when he first started releasing mix tapes. Lyrics were average, production was average. His mixtapes are better than this album and ya’ll know it. He has the skill to make his mark and come for the crown but this album was not showing off his skills as an MC. I will hold out hope that his next album will be more lyrical.
“Cole ain’t dropping, that’s real fucking funny.”
Cole winning people.. he’s got this shit. Not bad numbers for a debut. Might go gold in a couple of months.
@Sonny Carson’s Son…Do you listen to music or do you just skim through it?

buahahahhahahahahhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa COLE JUST SHITTTTTEEEDDDD ON ALLLL YOU HATING ASS F*CKS!! #COLEWORLD
It was a good album, but damn the hooks were week. Glad i bought it though
How can you call this a flop when he had no radio smashes compared to B.o.B. (not trying to put him on blast) who had 2 but didn’t even sell half as much as Cole in his first week?
But yea, I enjoyed the album, but I was expecting A LOT more.
Cole heating up like that leftover Lasagna.
Congrats, and btw did he ever put out a song with that “gay ray Allen” verse??
No pop hits. No radio smashes. No club bangers. Sold more than Ross, Big Sean, Wiz, BoB, and some of these other fuck boys you guys listen to. I dont get how niggas can hate on Cole. Gives it to you straight up.
Nice to see that niggas are buying real shit.
The album was garbage but his fanbase supports him. In the Morning with Drake worked wonders for him with the bitches who buy albums.
Cole Worlddddd
[…] Rapradar […]
drew who, NUMBERS DON’T LIE, FAGGOT. TAKE CARE!
Cole World!!!!!!
hahahahahahahaa this makes me laugh everytime!
I knew Cole would do big numbers, cause he’s a dope artist and he’s got a huuuge fanbase, so I never doubted him!
but where’s everyone who was like “COLE WON’T EVEN SELL 80K. HE AIN’T GOT NO BUZZ. GET OFF HIS NUTS, COLE DICKRIDERS!”
hahahaha where yall at now? Lame ass faggots!
Cole fuckin world! Congrats! To the top!
LMAOO Carter 4 was Waynes 10th album fuck outta here. Props to J.Cole tho.
I’m happy for J Cole I’m not his biggest fan but I am a fan and I appreciate that he touches on a lot of different subject matter. That being that album was kinda weak it felt like a mixtape.
“This is for all the fans that waited, the BITCH niggas that hated” – nobody’s perfect
Shout to Cole for showing you don’t need a gimmick or phony persona to make it. Number 1 album with no bs singles. Bundle up haters. Gone be a Cole world for a while. Start of a legend …. mark my words
Did I call it or what????????? people were callin me crazy
COLE WORLD BITCHES
“this will be the highest solo hip-hop debut this year” ??? foh.
what kinda stat/accomplishment is dat? Thats like Skip Bayless sayin Mike Vick had the most “almost interceptions” last year..hahah
nayway..Great artist. pretty good album. congrats
Yeah boyyyy! Already know I had to cop the album off iTunes! This is what’s up! I actually expected it to sell about 100k less! Congrats!
i bought 8 copies! @PC_Lover
The real story is Adele. She released her album in late february and it’s STILL in the top 3. Just about 4 million sold.
suuuuwooo
Congrats to Cole. He did it his way without having to make a pop focused album to move units. His fans already proved with this album they are among the best. Can you say album of the year? Yup
“When you make the list of the greatest am I on it”
Cole. Album on repeat its more complete than any of his mixtapes. Cole just keeps getting better and better.
shout outt 2 dat nigga cole, i read on the billboard site he working on his sophomore album while on tour
If 217,924 people buy the album it gotta be dope right? WRONG!!! The album that was 3 years in the making was weak.. His productions are o.k. The lyrics are subpar not lyrical at all.. He isn’t saying anything.. And his hook are weak also.. The kid dosent know how to fully compose a song.. He tried to do everything and failed. Jay z on mr nice watch was the highlight of the album and that song workout plan is horrific first single..
😀
hahahahaha J COLE WON
OMG…. I’M LIKE TOTALLY ON EVERY HIP HOP FORUM AND WEBSITE TROLLIN THE HATERS
🙂 the album was under shipped also
@Rawkus
“He isn’t saying anything.”

217 924 people disagree with you. how many people u got ridin with u? EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!! COLE WORLD!
Nice debut 217K with a leak too. WHOA
No More Mr.Nice Guy….Hello Mr.217,324 #Coleworld Fuck Omar Saint Louis 🙂
It’s gonna be a long couple of years for you haters lol, the kid is only gonna get better at rapping and producing. I gotta feeling that 2nd album is gonna be amazing.
yeah fine but his album sucks! nobody can deny that he sounds lazy as fuck on his album!
2.5 out of 5
fuck the haters i’m headed to that place you like to go
@215AllDay LYRICAL? you want lyrical???? Listen to Breakdown, Lost Ones, Never Told, Dollar & a Dream III, Sideline Story. Goddamn you need to listen if you want lyrics… people are so stupid these days. It was one of the most lyrical albums of the year, great meaning behind the songs, even the punchlines weren’t corny. Fuck the haters, no matter what he did it wouldn’t please some of you so haters have to hate, its their job so he knows he succeeded. So keep talking.
Nothing special and mad overhyped these new rappers are soft and fake because they came to the game rich. Game is really fucked up when people care only about sold units.
Seriously fuck yall haters.. Die slow
Great album. By far the best album of the year.
@ Citylivin – That is a nice song, agreed. Is that better than SImba or Dreams? No. Stop being such a sensitive Stan and listen, I am a fan and have been since he first got on the radar.
@ Pugz You can read above if you need to but please don’t make me pull out the wack lyrics on this album and argue against Cole. There was no song on the album that made you have to go back and listen, teh energy on the album was lackluster. The album is better than 90% of shit out there, so no one is saying that it is bad. I just expected more and based on his mixtapes and few features I am right to expect more. His ability was not displayed on this album, there is more.
Congratulations. You have to give it to Jay, letting Cole build himself as an artist. No hit single, number 1 album in the country? This is the answer to the people who constantly say “Hip Hop is Dead.” Time to get your hearing aids, because you aren’t listening. #ColeWorld
I refuse to purchase a cd from a cartoon character lookin azz nigga.
LMAOOO @ NVR…C4 is not a debut album u fool
is lil wayne cd considered a group?
@Civilize an 85er
If u actually know J.Cole’s story then u know he came from NOTHING and he chased his dream of becoming a rapper and then he became big and he says that in his music constantly.There is nothing fake or soft about that. And the game isnt fucked when a real hip hop album with a message becomes number #1. get out.
Congrats home boi! Real hip-hop 4 the win. COLE WORLD BITCHES!!!!! LOL!
@215AllDay
what kind of fan slanders Cole when he goes #1?..i can replace your name with alot of hating niggas on this site and you sound just like them….and i ain’t one of those fans who scared to critique Cole either…when Mr.Nice Watch came out i wrote on here “disappointed”…
…and that “his mixtape was better than his album” shit kill that…this goes for any rapper…their mixtapes are supposed to sound like albums or better…i don’t care if it’s Soulja Boy or Nicki Minaj.
His mixtapes are almost classics IMO, he had freedom to do the songs he wanted to do and damm the kid wasn’t fucking around on the mic. This is a heavy contender for AOTY but don’t act that he could have done a little bit better, he did kinda dumb down on some songs. The whole point of this album was to put him on the map and the singles are gonna be all-over the radio soon. As I said, the kid is gonna get better at being a hip-hop artist and soon he gonna be one of the top players in the game.
Congrats Cole!!! You proved the haters wrong.
No corny watered down #1 hit pop singles, no club bangers, no continuous radio play, and no overrated gimmicks. just loyal fans. The album is solid not a classic, but solid; songs like Dollar and a Dream 3, Sideline Story, Nobody’s Perfect, Rise and Shine, and God’s Gift have been on repeat lately.
Cole World! Take Care is up next.
This proves yu don’t gotta have a hit single for your shit to sell.
“Black and Yellow” was a mega hit and Wiz’s debut sold around 200-250k first week. “Airplanes” was also huge but B.o.B only did around100-150k first week.
A big single just means a buncha random people thought it was catchy and hopped on the songs dick. I’m not saying catchy/hit singles are bad, I’m just sayin’, a hit single doesn’t mean random people are gonna run to cop ya album.
I personally bought Cole World, and it was a dope album, but it definitely wasn’t as good as his mixtapes. He’s gained mad respect for limiting the guest features, and producing the bulk of the album. He’s did it, he debuted number one with the standards he set for the album. Next time around, I hope he’ll let some other producers handle more of the production, and he focuses more-so on the rapping, and maybe he should get Drake to ghost-write his hooks lol. Hopefully with his sophomore there’s less pressure on him since he’s proved himself capable of selling, and the label won’t fuck him over for 2 years again
@NVR you a damn fool son. lmao if C4 is a debut, where did C 1,2,3 go? haaa

@LOL
Jesus fucking Christ man, not you too!
Niggas, DEBUT means first. I don’t think Carter 4 was Wayne’s first album.
DEBUT****************** No one is ignoring Wayne. It figures that his fans can’t fcn read. DUMB SHITS.lol
“clap for ’em”
Proud of you Cole. Roc Nation came through in the end. Congrats

Yeah nigga made it with no hit single…not only teen gals buy albums…word to big sean wack ass eating off a chris brown hook.
wayne fans cant READ smh
Props to Cole, best debut since Lupe’s Food & Liquor.
hahah my fans are illiterate dumbasses who dont know what debut is hahahah j cole is better then me ,
a millie a millie a millie a millie
To all of you supposed j. cole fans saying the album was a disappointment, I beg to differ. Some fool above me said there wasn’t the same energy as in any of his mixtapes. Are you fucking stupid? Did you listen to “dollar and a dream 3”? or “Rise and Shine” or “God’s gift”? Not to mention that he was very hands on with the production of the album. It was a very good album.
Some other fool said Drake sold 400k first week. You ignorant fuck. If you knew anything about music, you would know that J. Cole and Drake are not in the same genre. Take Care would be dope, but to compare Drake and J. Cole as RAPPERS is almost like comparing Nicki Minaj to beyonce lol.
lol #s dont make the album hot..lol shit wiz khalifas rolling papers did 250k
@cl Wiz only sold 190k 1st week look it up… congrats Cole…
Good for you cole. Shitted on all these niggas that said you wouldn’t even sell 100k. Keep making music for me to hear and enjoy I don’t even care if the shit sells or not. That’s what being a try fan is all about. Does everyone remember the max b and jim jones beef? When tmjimmy said max wasn’t making more than 2 grand a show. Max reply was say that’s all I make a a shoe hypothetically speaking. I don’t had 7 shows this month already. That’s 14k a month…that’s good for a nigga like me right? We all know cole making more than that a show…he will make his money..as a fan im just concerned with hearing good music. Feel me
first it was ; cole wont break 100k
now its ; you know roc nation bought 150k copies
whats next when he hits gold???? Jay-Z wrote and produced his whole album??? FUCK OFF HATERS
COLE WORLD
his voice is annoying, good album to cure insomnia
@Citylivin So a fan can’t expect and want more than a watered down album that you even admit is not better than his mixtapes??? What is wrong with you? How does that make sense. The mixtape should NOT be better than the album. Damn man, hip hop has really fucked ya’ll heads up. You are so conditioned to wack shit that you expect it.
@ Young Simba – The only stupid one is your slow remedial ass. Simba, Return of Simba, Dreams, Til Infinity >>>>>> Sideline Story. FACT. Real fans can be critical, dick riders like yourself (check your name) can’t have anyone differ in opinion. Check yourself and oh wipe that off your mouth playboy.
[…] rr […]
Jay-Z bought those copies.
Awwwwwww Thank Me Later only sold over double that and CIV sold 4 times that…
Take Care bitches, YMCMB keeps winning.
[…] RR. Share this:ShareStumbleUponEmail […]
This the summer that our life change, hov asked me is you ready for it?
I looked around at all his nice things. Told nigga you already know it
He deserves more then those numbers, but it’s a good figure. Cole World.
@215AllDay dumb ignorant fucks like you like feeling like you know everything about rap. that old raps are always better than whatever is fresh. I dont know why cum bags like you are afraid of admitting something that is new is good. go suck yourself fucking douche
@ Young Simba – Did I make any comparison to anything old??? Nope, just another inarticulate dumb ass that can’t keep up with a person who can actually explain their point of view. Back to your mom’s basement fuck boy.
Just to further point out what a complete waste of sperm you turned out to be, I said the album was better than 90% of the stuff out right now. Never said it was a bad album…just expected and should have got more. I don’t settle like your bitch ass. New rappers that actually have ability J. Cole, Curen$$y, ASAP Rocky, Cobe Obeah, Earl Sweatshirt, Big Krit, Meek Mill, PAc Div, Kendrik Lamar etc. I could keep going. This is nothing to do with the new generation vs the old generation, this has to do with someone not making the best album they could make even though what they made was good. Now run along, people with brains are talking.
DOPE!

“Highest solo hip-hop debut this year? How about this album called Tha Carter IV that sold about a million copies in its first week.. Well deserved though J Cole, album is straight fire!” – NVR
@NVR…key word is “debut” …wayne is not a new artist… Tha Carter IV wasnt a debut album….therefore COLE WORLD is the highest Debut this year
Congrats to Cole……..first off his mixtapes are better than most artist albums Cole World is the best album of the year so far followed by watch the throne. I don’t hear the same repetitive subject matter as that on the radio, no big singles in fact some radio station didn’t even play cole til it was almost time for his album to come out. jUST FACE IT Cole is on heating up
GOOD ALBUM A CLASSIC??? I DOUBT THAT CONGRATS THOUGH
