J. Cole is the first artist to chart as many as 12 songs in the Hot 100’s top 40 simultaneously since Juice WRLD also landed 12 on July 25, 2020, all from his album Legends Never Die, which likewise debuted that week atop the Billboard 200.
Leading J. Cole’s haul, “my.life” becomes his highest charting Hot 100 hit, surpassing the No. 4 peak of 2019’s “Middle Child.”
