As we’ve previously indicated, now is a good time to be a guy named J. Cole.
Indeed, as if seeing his new album, ‘4 Your Eyez Only,’ conquer charts with a whopping 492,000 units moved wasn’t enough (the third largest figure of the year), he made history by seeing every song from the project crack the top 40.
Now, Billboard reports Cole has even more reason to celebrate:
4 Your Eyez Only also logs a big streaming week as it tallied 118,000 in SEA units (equaling 176.9 million streams of the album’s songs), which is the second-largest streaming debut ever for an album. It trails only the bow of Drake’s Views, which launched with 163,000 streaming units in its opening frame (equating to 245.1 million streams of songs from the album that week). 4 Your Eyez Only is just the third album to surpass 100,000 streaming equivalent album units in a single week, following Views and The Weeknd’s Starboy (with its opening frame of 117,000 in SEA units).
Tuck in below to see who joined Cole this week on the refreshed Billboard 200:

? Brandy fans, your fav is having another melt down, and in addition, being DRAGGED by “TSR” for her bitterness, and once again trying to shade Monica “All the while, Monica continues to pay your girl DUST ?.
I saw that, everyone’s dragging her. She was trying to compare her Whitney video to Monica’s. Brandy needs help, it obvious. Monica’s over there happy with her life and beautiful family, while Brandy is lonely and living in the past She’s literally beefing with her self, poor thing.
Y’all thirsty bottoms need to stop being so pressed about Brandy. Your obsession is pathetic.
Stfu. Nobody’s pressed besides Brandy’s unhappy bitter ass, reason as to why she is damn near 40 and acting like she’s in high school, and on top of that, beefing with herself “Mental illness is no joke”. Now you sir, can fk off.
Brandy needs to worry about keeping her eyes on the road and not using people as speed bumps.
Anyway, everyone’s dragging her ass on the shade room
