Following numerous rumours and a long wait, fans of J. Cole had no choice but to take in the rapper’s latest effort, ‘The Off-Season’ and in turn, the body of work has debuted atop the billboard 200.
Cole’s achievement was fueled by 282,000 units in total US sales and streams, with the latter serving as the major drive of his sales, totaling about 243,000 of the total was earned by streams.
The album, which was accompanied by a documentary of the same name, awards the MC the second biggest debut of the year, behind only Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” which premiered with 291,000.
On top of all that success, Coles’ LP holds the distinction of having the highest Hip-Hop sales release of the year, as well as the largest streaming debut of the year.
Congratulations to J. Cole on the latest feat. Very well deserved.
