First Week Sales Prediction of Cole World: The Sideline Story

J.Cole's debut album (Cole World: The Sideline Story) is finally dropping next week(Sept 27) , and it has some people guessing on how it would do in stores. There are two singles out from the album Work Out, and Can't Get Enough. Although these songs are not typical of what you would hear from Cole, fans are still hopeful that he dropped those for album publicity reasons, and that the real Cole would be on the album. I am going to attempt to predict what this album would do in its first week.





J.Cole doesn't have any albums out, so i am going to do this off the buzz surrounding this album. Although it has been expected for a while now (since he signed with Roc Nation in 2009), he doesn't have that huge buzz that someone like Drake had...or a B.O.B had, so he would most likely sell lower than they did. Drake sold over 400k of his Thank Me Later debut in its first week in stores , and b.o.b sold about 80k in his first week. I will say J.Cole would sell between 60-130k copies in his first week out with Cole World: The Sideline Story.
