And it's gonna be his best selling project without the help of any high-profile collaborations or productions. He proved himself right!

Cole Earns His First Million-Selling Album With '2014 Forest Hills Drive'By Keith Caulfield | September 10, 2015 8:48 PM EDT J. Cole earns his first million-selling album in the U.S., as his chart-topping 2014 Forest Hills Drive has surpassed a million copies sold, according to Nielsen Music. The set’s cumulative sales rose past the threshold in the week ending Sept. 3, as it sold another 6,000 copies, bringing its total to 1.004 million. The album was released in December of 2014 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, becoming his third consecutive No. 1. It continues to rules has the rapper’s biggest selling set. His previous album Born Sinner (released in 2013) has sold 747,000 while his first set, Cole World: The Sideline Story (released in 2011) has sold 772,000. 2014 Forest Hills Drive has generated five entries on the Hot Rap Songs chart: “Apparently” (peaking at No. 10), “Wet Dreamz” (No. 12), “No Role Modelz” (No. 18), “Fire Squad” (No. 24) and “A Tale of 2 Citiez” (No. 25). He’s also currently topping the Adult R&B Songs airplay chart, but with a song that isn’t on his album: Janet Jackson’s “No Sleeep.” He’s the featured guest on track, which has spent three nonconsecutive weeks atop the list (and crowns the Sept. 26-dated list).

Only 3 while Kendrick gets 11?
Not that I'm surprised in the least. Hype and Star Power are a big thing in this, especially in such a year.

tbh "Apparently" was the least deserving of the singles for a nomination, but I'm still happy nonetheless.

I can see it getting a nomination next year since "Apparently" was the only song submitted since it was a single at the time. Also he just dropped "Revenge of the Dreamers II" on iTunes! I can't handle myself. Bas is coming out with his 2nd album next year and the teaser for the Kendrick collaboration in February. Hold me dammit! Edit: Night Job and Caged Bird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But is "No Role Modelz" eligible next year? Surprised he didn't submit "Wet Dreamz", but I guess "Apparently" would be liked more than that one for the Grammy voters.
