Published: Tuesday 4th Oct 2011 by David

One of the most anticipated LP’s of the year,  recent weeks have seen J Cole‘s debut album has found itself at the center of every music spectators attention, eager to see just how the project will fare commercially upon its release.

Now its first week figures have been released, courtesy of Hits Daily Double.

Without any further delay, find out how many units the Roc Nation Prince sold in the last seven days below…

217, 324.

As well being the highest figure to be achieved in a single week by a debut Rapper this year, it is also the most copies that has been sold in seven days by a new artist since Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Pink Friday‘ debuted with 375,000 units in 2010.

As if that wasn’t enough, ‘Cole World’s #1 position marks the first time a solo act’s debut album has come out on top since B.O.B‘s ‘The Adventures of Bobby Ray’ which was released in May of last year.

Two places below him is Adele‘s ‘21‘ with 117, 054 copies sold within the last week and in at #29 is Jason Derulo‘s ‘Future History‘ which debuted with 13,000 units.

Congratulations to all.

    13k was higher than expected for her

  15. JAKE (KING BEY, QUEEN ADELE & EMPRESS RIRI) October 4, 2011

    YESSSSSSS!!!

    CONGRATS MY BROTHER – I WOULD ADVISE THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE IT TO BUY IT. QUICK.

    IT’S BRILLIANT – AND IN MY OPINION, IS THE BEST RAP ALBUM I’VE HEARD SINCE KANYE’S “MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY”…

    (AND I DID BUY WATCH THE THRONE & THA CARTER 5…IT JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW WEAK RAPPERS BECOME WHEN THEY’RE OVER-COMMERCIALISED)

  16. Jessie October 4, 2011

    derulo only sold 13,000???? Damn worse than ciara with 37,000 copies but it still charted higher so whatever.

  17. JER October 4, 2011

    Decent.

    Adele’s sales are monstrous.

    I like how NO BeYAWNce stan dare mention her sales anymore. 15k sold this week. FIFTEEN THOUSAND. Barely sold 800k after 3 months. Didn’t yal BEYSIC stans say BIONCI was gonna sell 2 million by the end of the year and 6 million WW? Cash your welfare checks, sign off the public library internet and get to buying your 6th copy of 4lop.

  18. Rio October 4, 2011

  22. TALK THAT S*** October 4, 2011

    @JER
    You are a b****, but hell you made me laugh

    —————–
    OK, how the f*** is Adele able to sell more than 100k NOW? That album was released in January.
    I heard somebody mention Taylor Swift is releasing something new this year.. If it is a brand new album, that Adele reign must let up! We all saw how that b**** Taylor dragged everybody down and whipped their asses week after week in the US October-December 2010 (Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Michael Jackson’s label, Rihanna, Ciara[HAHAHA], Keri Hilson… well, everybody). Hell, her numbers were f****** impressive. Sold like 3 or 4 million in 3-4 months… Adele is at 3,4 million after 9 months. Anyway, it’s gonna be competitive and frankly, the only one who can stand a chance against Adele States-wise, is Taylor Swift I think

  23. RHI RHI IS QUEEN October 4, 2011

    NIKKI SALES>>>>>J.COLE SALES

  24. Frieda (THE VOICE) October 4, 2011

    Congrats J. Cole but this b**** Adele sales aren’t letting up. Damn!

    Who cares??? Taylors music is pure SHITE as is her singing voice(especially live)

    Have you heard her sing the National Anthem…GOOD GOD! It was HORRENDOUS

    😕

    It still RATTLES my brain as to WHY shes popular. She’s just a GIMMICK for teenage listeners..much like Justin Beaver always singing about LOVE. She is a FAD…just like OBESEdele.

  30. Army Of Queen Of R&B Aaliyah & Queen Bee ! (ISTAN4Aaliyah&Kim) Who Da F*** Want War ??? !!!!!! October 4, 2011

    Not Shabby & Of Course He Couldnt Out Sale FLOP FRIDAY Because That B**** Used Many Gimmicks To Hype That S*** Up ! ie. Fake Beef With Kim

  31. JAMIR21: I LOVE RIHANNA, BRITNEY, BEYONCE, NICKI AND GAGA October 4, 2011

    LOL You just missed @ICON

  33. True Skarlet October 4, 2011

    Damn, 13.000?

    “Don’t Wanna Go Home” did alright on the charts and “It Girl” is currently blowing up
    I wasn’t expecting him to sell alot of albums but not THAT low

  34. True Skarlet October 4, 2011

    Jason flopping aside

    Congrats to J.Cole

  35. TALK THAT S*** October 4, 2011

    @THE GREAT LACEFRONCE RETURNS.
    Well, apparently 1 million people across the US cared for her in a week last year……… She’s a bit boring yes, but you gotta give it to her for keeping her clothes on while also being exposed to pressure (you know, s** sells and that’s something Lady Gaga and Kesha know – who both seem to be meaner versions of Swift herself)

  36. tyra October 4, 2011

    @ jer u cant get beyonce outta yah mind its okay she is known to hve that effect since u dnt like her very much i find it interesting u would be the first to mention her name in a j cole post can u answer dat ?

  37. Trey October 4, 2011

    13 000???? is this a joke???

  38. THE GREAT LACEFRONCE RETURNS. October 4, 2011

    @TALK THAT S***

    Do you disagree that Taylor’s voice is PURE SHITE??????? Her voice is one of the WORST singing voices that the GREAT LACEFRONCE has ever heard 😕

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_ogPknbdvA

    2:01 – 2:06 was EXTREMELY off key

    What a JOKE!

    & Who cares about selling 1 million in the first week when your music is pure SHITE???(So did NSYNC )

  39. flawda October 4, 2011

    Hitsdailydouble.com is not official, BILLBOARD.COM is official. They don’t officially put out their numbers that they get from Neilsen Soundscan until Wednesdays, more than likely J Cole will do a few thousand more sales. Sales doesn’t end until midnight.

  40. TALK THAT S*** October 4, 2011

    THE GREAT LACEFRONCE RETURNS.
    Her voice is really weak and I can see why people hate it… But I just cannot allow myself throwing insults at her. She seems so innocent, don’t want to make her cry… Haha. You might think I’m weird but whatever. Taylor’s not the most talented singer out there, but so aren’t neither many other successful singers out there. At least Taylor is not shoved down our throats in contrast to some other b****** that cannot catch a break (excluding KWEEN RIRI, I love that’s she’s reigning the scene over and over, though she could use a break soon too)

  41. noodles October 4, 2011

    Congrats J Cole 🙂 He deserves it.

    Now Jason….lmao! That’s hilarious. It’s sad though. What he has been out for 2 years and people are already forgetting about him and he is selling 13,000 first week? LMAOOOO! Either people still don’t know who he is or they don’t care. Sad. I would say well atleast he makes good music because when your sales are low atleast your talent backs you up but he doesn’t have a whole lot of that either…not enough that sticks out anyway. Whatca say? Jason Defuckno flopped? Guess it’s time for him to go home…
    *sips tea*

  42. THE TRUTH October 4, 2011

    @THE GREAT LACEFRONCE RETURNS.

    Shut the *uck up. All *uckin artists have off performances. For someone who wasn’t a fan and went to Taylor’s concert with my nieces, the b*itch is legit one of a kind as an entertainer and her voice was on point. Much better than some seasoned pros I’ve seen.

    When your fave can go on a stadium tour, sell over 5.5. mil albums in less than a yr and have 55000 ppl sellout a stadium TWICE just to see their ass sing LIVE, then you can talk.
    Till then take a seat to the left.

  43. THE TRUTH October 4, 2011

    @TALK THAT S***

    Taylor won’t be releasing new material. Her new album will be out in 2012. However, she will be releasing a cd/dvd of Speak Now in November. So we shall see.

  44. THE TRUTH October 4, 2011

    @TALK THAT S***

    *live cd/dvd*

  45. talk that weave October 4, 2011

    yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    both my faves are still winning….j cole and adele…j cole being my fav rapper and adele being my fav singer………STAY MAD

    who is buyin dele’s albums?? dayum that much after seven months of release? dayum she is pushin more sales than some ppl push in 1st week. adele is winning. who mad that my faves are at the top????

  46. talk that weave October 4, 2011

    hahahahahahaha at the jason FLOPrulo jokes….i never liked him…he is average, generic rnb, poor man’s chris brown..nothing much

    i hate how he recycles beat after beat when there are many that can be signed and come up with creative somethings new. he even recycled toto africa and his music is annoyin.

    some of my fav quotes

    “13, 000 for Jason ???

    I told you white peo.., I mean, mainstream audience can’t focus on two black artists at a time.

    Poor Jason.”

    “LOL I guess Jason DeruNo is already History in the chart. ” lol at the allusion to the name of his album. the album itself had a stupid title.

    not a hater. i just love creativity

  47. VA STAND UP!!! October 4, 2011

    Congrats to J Cole!! I knew he was coming in at No. 1 but I could have sworn that his sales were gonna be higher than that! I thought early estimates were at aroiuond 250k-270k? Oh well, a No. 1 is a No. 1! I’m happy for him.

    As for Jason….honestly when I heard how low they were gonna be my heart sank a lil bit for him. I couldn’t even laugh that’s how bad I felt. I know I talk a lot of s*** about him (cause he sucks) but as much as I don’t like his music he seems to be really nice and he does work hard so I can’t laugh at his failure. For any artist that works realy hard and their albums flops this it’s just sad. I’ll go easy on him from now on. *crosses fingers behind back*

    I guess maybe now he can focus on acting like he said he would. *cough*

    Adele is still shitting on the entire industry I see…..

    *sips tea*

    —————————————————————–

    Lol! It is sad isn’t it! I felt bad for him, I couldn’t even laugh when I found out but the jokes on twitter had me weak. They were relentless. SMH. *chuckles*

    I guess now all the FOOLS who had the aduacity to say Jason was coming for CB or was any threat to CB (or any other r&b singer for that matter) can laugh shut the hell up. It’s official now. Jason is officially NO competition. *files nails*

  49. noodles October 4, 2011

    @Va Stand Up
    Lol. I feel a little bad for laughing but sometimes I feel like being bitchy lol. Like no one really deserves to flop like this but after all those times the ignorant fools had the NERVE to say he was coming for CB’s spot and it’s no secret 2 years ago the media tried to make him the next Chris…so I just HAVE to laugh because I feel like I was right…like he has no importance in the industry and can be easily forgotten and whoever told me otherwise in the past 2 years and tried to come for my fave…HAHAHAHA!! It’s really not a personal thing towards Jason though lol. Even though his music doesn’t really do it for me…it’s catchy but blah.

  50. lol October 4, 2011

    *scans at comments

    Congrates to J cole its nice to see a good rapper froma small town doin it big 🙂

    ….As for Jason 🙁

    As probably Jasons biggest fan on this site i pity the people taking pleasure at his failures , this is only his second album …hell i know of one pop princess (Amoungst other artist) who had a couple albums bomb before they came into their own and found success . Jason likewise will either take this news and go back to the drawing board and REALLY take this as a lesson and find something worthwhile in his music next album or he’ll quit only time will tell if he was ever really built for this buisness…overall im still a fan he’s talented and sales dont decide someone’s level of talent

  51. Toya October 4, 2011

    Sam is such a shady b******. Congrats to all…. even Jason????? smh

  52. Teacher October 4, 2011

    derulo only sold 13,000???? Damn worse than ciara with 37,000 copies but it still charted higher so whatever.
    ______________________________________________
    This is y album positions and #1 albums don’t really matter….Congrats J. Cole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  53. JER October 4, 2011

    i see ThatFLOP juice deleting peoples coments. F****** FASCISTS

  54. LA October 5, 2011

    Who in hell did this research? Drake’s debut was 447,000 and he debuted @ number 1..so what do you mean since Nikki Minaj ? You mean Drake?….bad…bad..bad journalism…No research. Anyways I love J.cole like a fat kid loves cake so happy for him! #coleworld

  55. THEMAN October 5, 2011

    They are talking about recent hiphop albums, Drake’s first album came out a while ago. Jason Derulo is cool, but he has no presence. It’s like a regular person just dancing and singing. He had no real promo. If he has two flop albums then his label will be put in a certain situation. It certainly doesn’t help him.

  56. KD October 5, 2011

    The comments in this section are disgusting and a sad indication of how vile people have become. I am not Jason Derulo’s biggest fan, but to come in here and make fun of and revel in what has to be a devastating outcome for him is truly sickening.

    Keep your head up Jason. 4get all these demon spawn that live for negativity.

  57. Yellow Gorillah October 5, 2011

    Woooooah

    13,000 for jason I did not expect that at all

    How did don’t wanna go home do in The Hot 100? because it smashed in Europe. But ahh it don’t matter all about the long run.

    Nicki minaj still struggling to sell 2million so lets keep that cute.

    Great job for j cole!!

  58. talk that weave October 5, 2011

    what annoys be bout jason is that he recycles beats too much…yes others do too…but then he sounds like a chris brown clone with nothin unique of his own. nothin so far makes him unique. to stay in the game, u gotta give ppl that one thing they know they find in u only.

  59. Popcorn October 5, 2011

    and in at #29 is Jason Derulo’s ‘Future History‘ which debuted with 13,000 units.

    Congratulations to all.

  60. Popcorn October 5, 2011

    Well Done to J. Cole
    Put alot of peoples doubts to rest with solid sales.

    Dont like some tracks but he definatley has some really good ones also.

  61. Geronimo Deuces October 5, 2011

    he will now have new friends from everywhere ……. i smell someone wanting him

  62. RIHLICIOUS HAS TAKEN OVER… October 5, 2011
