J. Cole's First Week Sales For "The Fall-Off"

J. Cole’s highly anticipated seventh studio album The Fall-Off - released on February 6, 2026 - has delivered one of the strongest commercial openings of the year. Early industry projections and sales tracking show the album moving between roughly 260,000 and 300,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, combining streaming, digital downloads, and physical sales.

These impressive numbers would make The Fall-Off one of the biggest debuts of 2026 and mark J. Cole’s most successful first week since his 2018 release KOD. The strong performance reflects both Cole’s enduring fanbase and the broad appeal of the double-disc project.

The album features guest appearances from artists like Burna Boy, Erykah Badu, Future, and Tems, contributing to its streaming momentum. Critics and fans alike have been watching closely, especially given talk that The Fall-Off could represent a turning point in Cole’s career.
