Cole spoke about the album earlier this year during an interview with Fuse. “There’s definitely more sexy songs on this album than I’ve ever done,” she said. “I’m excited to see what the people think about that, so we’ll see how receptive they are to the album. I think it’s a great album and I feel like it’s one of my best albums to date.”

You can’t take these seriously when they can’t even get game’s record label right. It’s YMCMB damn it not E1. Game also sold 120k this week.
Game isn’t signed to YMCMB and he didn’t sell 120K.
How can you be a Game fan and don’t have any of his info right? lol
I saw the ymcmb logo on the album. He’s signed to ymcmb and it sold 120k. There is no way it would sell less than 50.
IT’S A TROLL, COTTDAMN
TEETHBOY GOTTA FINDA WAY 2 MAKE THAT CHEETOS $
27-30k
50’s a true hustler. He basically released his entire album ahead of time at a very low price yet sold more than game.
over a 100k indie
Animal Ambition at 115K exactly on hes own Independent label
Just say they both flopped.
Ugh, that gay ass shit, hot boy crap, with bobby, made it into the top 10.
Man this shit is sad. We need M&M back so we can see some decent numbers.
damn 30k is pretty weak for Game when you look at all those features. thats about what khaled and rich gang sell on majors though.
20k less than fiddy but 15k more than the digital only g-unit ep
game not indie
eOne is indie but its not his own indie so he lost
Any word on how Traci Braxton’s “Crash & Burn” album did?
It probably crashed & burned on the charts.
Where is that label called “SHEPARD LANE”?
That label had the shit!
Stan Sheppard had that west Coast shit rollin!
this months XXL magazine gonna sell more copies than Year of the Wolf
The game flop real bad he only did 3k lol that’s crazy n he’s with ymcmb
The Game is not on YMCMB it is E1
And the album came out yesterday so there is no way you have an album count in less then 24 hours
it came out on tuesday, the projections are 27-30k
The Game did 27K for an album with 15 tracks 12 features
While G unit did 14K with only 6 tracks NO features
This nigga is going to be dissin the shit out of G unit to get Doc 2 sales up BUT no one cares about that stuff no more…..
If you have Lil Wayne/Tyga/Ty Dolla/Kevin Gates/Jeezy/Yo Gotti/2 Chainz/Chris Brown/French Montana/Too Short/Freddie Gibbs/Bobby Shmurda
And try to call it an COMP Album makes no sense…You paid those cats to be on an album that only did 27K…..
G-Unit was also digital only an an EP which dont usually sell much
I heard Jayceon Taylor can’t pay the rent!
Still outsold his rival.
There’s no returning from 25k.
“eOne is indie but its not his own indie so he lost”
He still has millions, plus 1 more major label album coming.
