If things proceed as anticipated for J. Cole, his string of good luck should continue. This week, J. Cole released Cole World: The Sideline Story, his debut album, following years of delays. J. Cole explained these delays were caused by label issues.

With the issues put to the side, J. Cole became the most-discussed rapper in the game, as he prepared his album. J. Cole's debut album is now behind him. Following releasing an album, the next challenge is the actual sales.

Projections have J. Cole prepared to do very well, at least in his first week. J. Cole is projected to sell between 225,000 and 250,000 copies in his first week. Those numbers should translate into J. Cole topping the Billboard Top 200 albums' list. While J. Cole wants to debut on top, he wants to have strong, consistent, sales on his album.
