A few days ago, estimates had the album possibly selling 550,000 pieces.

J. Cole’s new album 4 Your Eyez Only is heading for a huge debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, according to industry forecasters. Sources suggest the rapper will earn his fourth chart-topper with the release, and it will blast in with perhaps around 550,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Dec. 15 — the third-largest debut of 2016. Of J. Cole’s forecasted launch, traditional album sales could equal around 360,000 to 380,000 — Cole’s best sales week ever. (Billboard)

Initial estimates had the album selling up to 500,000 copies in week 1.
