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.
Rhianna shade lmaooo LOVE IT!
Good for him! ! Falling under that hedious beast known as Joe Camel does have its rewards doesn’t it?
LOL at the Raggedy RihANN gab!! 🙂
Re Re Shade! LOL
I like him and he’s one of the most gifted rappers of his generation.I’m totally checking for his 2nd album.
HOWEVER, @TGJ is rushing a bit.I’m just saying that a great 1st week does not equal a great chart run.So, just wait until it’s gold (I’m hoping it will be by Christmas) to brag about his figures, because I wouldn’t like to see a “J Cole : Promotion Vs. Product” article anytime soon. 😕
You welcome, J.Cole 🙂 #Coleworld
Congrats to Jcole
Ur welcome J cole.
U are right….. No chart topping single needed
No super Hype about u being the Best Ever…. No BS
He’s more than welcome.
And just so we’re clear, Jermaine: “Lost Ones” is your free ticket to “Grammy for Best New Artist.” kingdom
Cole world, real cole world.
I keep seeing the Rihanna shade. TGJ Sam
try to be objective once in your life. What has Rihanna ever done to you?
Smh
He should go gold with Black Friday and Christmas coming up, his sales should sustain with strong word of mouth and the shopping season approaching.
Hopefully the music consumers shallow asses get off these catchy europop trash and get back to listening to real music. Then again, Lil Wayne just sold a mil in a week off a album about nothing of substance.
So proud of this guy. And just think, so many people said he wouldn’t have a successful debut album. Cole World!
I am so rooting for Jay cole and xtina this year apart from my Queen.It amazes me how his first album went to #1 and some artist don’t know what it is like to have one at all, striving over many. Jason D, and company. SAD SO SAD. I guess some fans think it is not important. This section of billboard does not exist where it is the only section which summarizes a body of work.
Once again, Bravo jay Cole, you are great.
In Addition, Jay z need to focus on Alexis Jordin and bring her out full force already, she will be major and is talented
j cole sit your ass down!!!!!
the following queens (yes queens not kings) are running the game. they are better than u in flow, lyricism, poetry, positive message in society, nobel prizes, grammys, hall of fame and star on hollywood walk of fame. sit down and let the followin rule:
in order of accolades, respect and nobel prize for changing the hip hop game
1. souljah girl…oh, i mean souljah boy
2. bow down… I mean bow wow
3. WACK-a flocka- flocking the naive and ignorant sheep.
4. non-flow rida- a “rapper” with no flow at all
j cole SIT DOWN!!!!!!!
*death* that last comment! LMAO! I’m so happy for Cole, glad he did it. Damn why ya’ll gotta shade Rih Rih all the time?
Huge Fan!! Congrats Jermaine!
Cole World No Blanket!
Congrats to him.
Congrats…..it is my 2nd fave hip hop album this year. My fave song on the album was Breakdown.
No probs! COLE WORLD.
