One day has passed since it was confirmed here that Roc Nation Rapper J Cole was to enjoy a #1 position with his debut album ‘Cole World: The Sideline Story‘.
Now, the entertainer has taken to Twitter to thank his fans for purchasing 218,000 copies of the LP in its first week of release.
Peep his very special message below…
‘Just want to say THANK YOU!’
We shook the game up. Nochart 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.’
Well done indeed.
For while the likes of Rihanna fail to score #1 albums even with singles like ‘Only Girl In The World’ and ‘Umbrella‘ behind them, it is interesting to see that it is the artists who enjoy less success on the Billboard Hot 100 seem to be the ones scoring the highest figures on the Billboard 200.
