Earlier this year, Cole’s new KOD album easily crushed its competition atop the sales chart.
Dreamville/Roc Nation/Interscope’s J. Cole has soared to #1 on the HITS Top 50 Chart with approximately 395k for new full-length KOD. This marks the biggest bow of the year so far, surpassing Justin Timberlake’s Man of the Woods by more than 100k. Cole has also become the third artist in history to collect more than 300m streams for an album in one week, behind Drake and Kendrick Lamar. (HITS Daily Double)

@JColeNC Favorite BAR off the album🤔

Aside from the fact that they 🔥🔥🔥. Hook the most addictive part of music. KOD. If a chorus by nature is a drug, the right repetitive hook is like crack. Cheap, but get you high as fuck https://t.co/hU5DtpGtRy
— J. Cole (@JColeNC) April 26, 2018
@JColeNC Is there a deeper meaning or symbolism behind the repetitive hooks?

KOD deluxe will be album in its original 2 week form. Plus couple extra scenes that didn't make final cut. https://t.co/ruT2p28ovl
— J. Cole (@JColeNC) April 26, 2018
@JColeNC Do you have any tracks that didn't make the cut that we might hear along the way? #KOD

While in Zanzibar workin' on one of the songs, maybe window pain, I asked myself what is the name of this album that I just fucked around and made. KOD came immediately. "What the fuck do that mean?" I asked. the 3 meanings followed in seconds. In tune. https://t.co/fChUwQ7vFT

@JColeNC before you had a burst of creativity that helped you create KOD in such a short time, were you even planning to put an album out?
— Jahshua B.L.A.K. (@JoshuaBLAK617) April 26, 2018

@JColeNC are you tweeting from a phone or computer? And how are you determining which tweets to reply to?
If you’re reading this, just want you to know I appreciate you and your artistry. Also, when can we schedule a listening party for some of your unreleased music??— edible arrangement (@aspiringauntie) April 26, 2018

@JColeNC out of all questions I must ask as a real one. Have you ever been a “KOD”. And are you still??????????
— Im From Wiscompton (@BillionareMade) April 26, 2018
Y'all let me know when I'm doin too much. This social media shit is a drug for real, and this is a binge for me. You had a traumatic week already I don't wanna fuck your timeline up no worse than it is.
