J. Cole "2014 Forest Hills Drive" on pace to sell 335-355k first week.

[bigmac]

UPDATE:

Early, early reads suggest that Roc Nation/Dreamville/Columbia's J. Coleis on track to move a whopping 240-270k in his opening week with album 2014 Forest Hills Drive. The set is currently #1 at iTunes on its first day of release; single "Apparently" is just impacting radio now. Again, these are very early assessments; stand by for updates. (12/9p)

All things considered, this is fukking crazy.

Hopefully this means record labels will stop forcing artists doing pop singles.

Yep, that's what I take from this as well. Those pop singles are career killers on the low.

nikkas gona post up in here like "yeah this is not bad" and completely sleep on how much of an achievement this is.

No single. No press. nikka merely ANNOUNCED the album three weeks ago. No promo outside of posting up in bytches houses ffs. No radio play. No exposure to the masses in the typical channels ie. TV appearances, award show performances.

Yet doing 240k in a singles driven, dwindling market?

fukking nuts b.
