J. Cole looks set to make a major mark on the US album chart with his latest LP, ‘Might Delete Later.’
Arriving sans any prior notice, the Hip-Hop star’s project brought with it ample buzz – most especially thanks to it housing the track ‘7 Minute Drill,’ a return shot at Kendrick Lamar following the MC’s hit diss ‘Like That’ (with Future and Metro Boomin).
With the first-week forecasts now in, check out how the numbers are stacking up after the jump…
According to Hits Daily Double, the surprise set is on course to premiere on the Billboard 200 with sales of:
140,000-160,000
The range sees Cole’s album – which features the likes of Ari Lennox, Central Cee, and Gucci Mane – on course to launch at #1 on the coveted count.
However, he’s facing stiff competition from Beyonce’s trailblazing ‘Cowboy Carter’ – which is contending for a second week in pole position.
Stay tuned to see who nabs the top spot in what is shaping up to be a close race to the finish line.
If Beyonce doesn’t do a second week at #1 I’m gonna scream 😭

Scream at what!!! Nicki is never reaching Beyonces level ever! Beyonce sold over 400k first week after being in the industry for 25 years. And what is Icki doing again? Lmao gag on that.
Nicki has insane legal and community troubles. All of her fans should also study and STFU like her right now.
Overhyped boring shít. His response to Kendrick was so lame. Kendrick is king!
It’s giving Jay Z Sasquatch Cosplay on The Wkends
And someone please give these Bees their paycheck, the workers are out here starving on the Carter Farm. Her fanbase is giving indentured servants
I don’t know what people are listening to with Bey’s album. That ish is trash. There are 3… maybe 4 good songs on it. It’s a musical mess and her singing is sub par.
