J. Cole and his Born Sinner album has taken it all the way to the top of the charts clinching the number 1 spot this week shooting ahead of Wale and Kanye West. Since dropping his album 3 weeks ago Cole has held steady at the number 2 spot falling a little shy behind Kanye West's Yeezus album during the first week and staying at number 2 when Wale's The Gifted took over the number 1 spot last week. The North Carolina native has officially surpassed Kanye West's Yeezus album sales of 431,000 units after selling 58,000 units this week bringing him to a total of 439,000 units. Cole who's album had the scheduled release date of June 25th after pushing the album back a time before pushed it forward to June 18th after Kanye made the announcement that he would release his album on "June Eighteen". Jermaine made the announcement via twitter by saying “Kanye West is one of the greatest artists of our generation,”, “Which is exactly why I'm moving my release date up. Born Sinner June 18th.” This week after the announcement was made that his album had clinched the number 1 spot since being released and had also surpassed Kanye's record sales the Roc Nation artist took to twitter again showing his humbled appreciation. I believe it is safe to say that J. Cole has put North Carolina on the map!
