J.Cole’s ‘Born Sinner’ Rockets To #1 / Outsells ‘Yeezus’

Published: Wednesday 10th Jul 2013 by David

J.Cole has much cause to celebrate today!

Well, at least if he’s been keeping on eye on the sales of his brand new album ‘Born Sinner’ and that of its closest competition ‘Yeezus‘, by Kanye West.

Find out why below…

After peaking at #2 in its first week of release, the undying support for ‘Sinner’ has seen rocket to #1 on this week’s Billboard 200 chart, shifting 58,000 units in the last.

More importantly though, this week’s sales of the project have seen him outsell ‘Yeezus‘- boasting 439,000 units, 8,000 units above the 431,000 copies the latter has sold in the US thus far.

Marking excellent news for the ‘Vendetta‘ performer, his run at the top is set to be cut short by Jay Z‘s new LP ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail‘, which is predicted to sell close to 450,000 units in the coming week, joined by the force that is Ciara’s self titled new album, ‘Ciara‘- released on July 9th!

Congratulations!

    Ciara should’ve bumped her album up a week and this would’ve been her. But everything happens for a reason.

    I love J Cole, but I don’t care about this.. Why are you celebrating on his 2nd week? 2nd week isn’t the same like premier week. Anyway, congratulation.. Adele also didn’t debut at #1, but look at her now

    • the real xoxo July 11, 2013

      climbing to #1 weeks later is far more impressive rather than debuting #1 and falling.

    FROM BILLBOARD.COM

    In non-Jay-Z news, next week’s No. 2 album should be Ciara’s new self-titled album. It will likely bow in the runner-up slot with around 50,000 to 60,000 sold. That’s a significantly larger start than her last album. 2010’s “Basic Instinct” arrived at a lowly No. 44 in the thick of the Christmas shopping season, selling 37,000 in its first week. It fell off the chart after only eight weeks, and has sold 116,000 to date.

    I love “Born Sinner” (as well as ‘Yeezus’) & I’m happy for his #1 album. However, I want to hear what J-Cole’s 6th album will sound like. I hope he continues to grow &, most importantly, CHALLENGE his listeners.
