\n\tJ. Cole<\/a> continues his blockbuster week on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s charts (dated Feb. 21), as 21 songs from his new album, The Fall-Off<\/em>, debut on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>. With the influx, he boosts his career total from 90 to 111 entries, becoming the 22nd act to chart at least 100 titles<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Fall-Off <\/em>launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200<\/a> with 280,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States Feb. 6-12, according to Luminate \u2014 the biggest week for any album in 2026, and the largest since Stray Kids\u2019 DO IT<\/em> opened with 295,000 units (Dec. 6). J. Cole earns his seventh No. 1 and first since The Off-Season<\/em> in 2021.<\/p>\n \n\tWith seven No. 1s, J. Cole moves out of a tie with Nas for the sixth-most No. 1 albums among rappers, after Drake and Jay-Z (14 each), and Eminem, Future and Ye (11 each).<\/p>\n \n\tHere\u2019s a rundown of J. Cole\u2019s tracks on this week\u2019s Hot 100 (all of which are debuts):<\/p>\n \n\tNotably, \u201c29 Intro\u201d samples James Taylor\u2019s \u201cCarolina in My Mind,\u201d a No. 67 Hot 100 hit in 1970. It sets up the autobiographical nature of The Fall-Off,<\/em> with J. Cole having grown up in Fayetteville, N.C. Other notable samples on the album include Ludacris\u2019 \u201cWhat\u2019s Your Fantasy,\u201d featuring Shawnna, on \u201cBombs in the Ville\/Hit the Gas\u201d; Marvin Sapp\u2019s \u201cNever Would Have Made It\u201d on \u201cMan Up Above\u201d; the Isley Brothers\u2019 \u201cLove Put Me on the Corner\u201d on \u201cAnd the Whole World Is the Ville\u201d and Common\u2019s \u201cThe Light\u201d on \u201cI Love Her Again.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tOf J. Cole\u2019s 111 Hot 100 hits, 54 have reached the top 40, 13 have hit the top 10 and one has gone to No. 1 \u2014 Drake\u2019s \u201cFirst Person Shooter,\u201d on which he\u2019s featured, in 2023. He first appeared on the chart in June 2010 with \u201cWho Dat.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBelow is an updated look at every act with at least 100 career Hot 100 entries, dating to the chart\u2019s 1958 launch. Thanks to his 21 debuts this week, J. Cole ties 21 Savage for the 16th most.<\/p>\n \n\tJ. Cole is the first artist to surpass 100 Hot 100 visits since Morgan Wallen reached the milestone<\/a> last year upon the chart debut of his album I\u2019m the Problem<\/em>. Before that, Bad Bunny joined the club<\/a> in January 2025 after releasing Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em>, becoming the first act who primarily records Latin music to reach the mark.<\/p>\n \n\tWhile triple-digit Hot 100 totals were once rare, they\u2019ve become more common in the streaming era. Since the chart began incorporating streaming data in 2007, high-profile album releases have frequently generated simultaneous entries, reflecting modern consumption habits. That dynamic contrasts with earlier decades, when artists typically promoted one single at a time in a physical-only and radio-driven marketplace, limiting the total number of songs that an act could chart at once.<\/p>\n\n
