Predictions are often right, but these numbers will change tomorrow after the official prediction list comes out.

Why would his DJ exaggerate? :laughing:

I mean, it's not like we won't find out how much it actually sold. lol

FYI... the 225-250k figure is based on the 115k one-day sales-figure.

With big mainstream releases, it's normal for an album to sell 30-50% of its first week sales on the first day.

MMLP probably sold some 400-600k one its releaseday.

That crazy :unsure:
Yela won't even do that in his fist 5 weeks :coffee:

Em REALLY need to promote the album :facepalm
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.

What the hell are you on? No one will bring up the sales to support how good he is - why bother when his mixtapes are the perfect example. The sales have nothing to do with assurance that J. Cole or Cole World are good. We are just happy that he (a great rapper) and his album (a great album) are making it this big.

I can't think of anything witty enough to do such a stupid comment justice.

Jay-Z is not even that person that would buy albums to support his labelmate.

Watch for J. Cole to debut atop the Billboard 200 next week with his first album "Cole World: the Sideline Story," which could move as many as 240,000 to 250,000 copies by week's end on Oct. 2, so say industry prognosticators.


See TJ, estimates are getting higher by the moment....That's what I wanted to tell you.

I mean... I realize that the first day sales are the highest, and that usually albums sell a lot less in the next 6 days, but understand that Cole (at least from what I've seen so far) has a very LOYAL fanbase... Loyalty = Quantity

But we'll see I guess. :y:

MAD! yup you!


Common man ! you lost, Cole won... just accept it and move on :zipped:

Did i bet against him flopping or anything,i lost nothing at all.

im just saying that HOV bought albums of his,he tweeted that stores sold out today,you cant do that with only internet promotion,people tweeted that hov will buy albums.

i DLED the album,to me,it sucked.


Lmao @ saying Hov bought albums. It's not like he's selling a mili or anything. The numbers are pretty believable. I logged onto facebook and saw tons of statuses about it, hear my neighbors bumping it, cars driving by playing it etc...

Cole has a buzzzzzz cole world bitchhhhhhh
