Official First Week Sales Of Wale's 'The Gifted' Album

MMG rapper, Wale has done a full week in stores with his third album, The Gifted, and it got him his first number one album. The album sold 158,000 copies first week. That's 10k less than his Ambition album sold in 2011, but it is still impressive for this climate in hip hop when some veterans are scared to drop albums. It means his fanbase has stuck with him. It's just generally good to see Rick Ross's army of rappers doing good.

Jay-Z Congratulates J.Cole on Having A Number 1 Album

J.Cole's Cole World: The Sideline Story got the number one position on billboard top 200 album charts this week, and Jay-Z came forward to congratulate his employee...J.Cole is signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation label.



“J. Cole’s success is testament to amazing artist development and Cole’s hard work,” said Jay-Z in a statement. “I want to congratulate him on a #1 album and more importantly a great body of work.”










I also personally congratulate him, because it ain't easy to sell above 100,000 copies first week nowadays, and he sold 217,000, so that is a great. And to top it up, this is his first studio album, and he came in number one on the chart, so that is really a course for celebration.
