Beyonce & Future Score Platinum Album Certifications

    Beyonce continues her reign as the RIAA announces that Queen Bey receives her sixth platinum certification, this one for LEMONADE. The album was officially recognized as selling one million units Monday (June 6). Now, all of Beyonce’s solo albums, from 2003’s Dangerously In Love to her most recent output, have been acknowledged as platinum. LEMONADE debuted at the top of Billboard’s Top 200 charts with 652,665 album equivalent units.

    Future captures his first platinum album as a solo artist with Dirty Sprite 2. This comes after his collaborative project, What a Time to Be Alive with Drake, was certified platinum in March. Dirty Sprite 2 featured the singles “Commas” and “Where You At?”

    In celebration of his release from prison, the nation was revisiting Gucci Mane’s catalog, which resulted in three certifications for the Trap King. The State vs. Radric Davis has sold 500,000 album equivalent units since its December 2009 release. Guwop’s two singles, “Spotlight” and “Wasted” were also given gold tags.

    2. This streaming bullshit is killing the culture. Now the most mediocre works of “art” are achieving success, and it’s all thanks to downloading music. Yes, it’s now possible for a retarded 40 year old man with the IQ of a raisin and the mind of a 5 year old child to become a rapper and go platinum. Hip hop is officially doomed.

      1. hiphop been dead…nas was correct, people just too slow to catch on…soon enough though….soon enough…..:)

    3. Nothing to be proud of, especially since Streams are counted as sales. Basically, all of you would’ve barely sold 50k of actual CD units. Look at Adelle, she sold a million worth of CD’s in her first week, no streaming. Hip Hop is dead and these so called “artists”, record companies and Media(You DX) killed it.

      1. So you blame the artist because the fans don’t actually pay for the music? That’s dumb. The system had to be tweaked so artist could actually have something to show for their work. It’s not like the music isn’t being listened to, because it definitely is. You also need to realize that there’s something fishy going on with Adele, Taylor Swift, etc. No one really moves large units anymore yet they’re moving a million units out the gate every time. That doesn’t seem odd to you? No matter how large their fan bases are they’re the only ones doing it. You have acts like Maroon 5, One Direction, Miranda Lambert & even Drake(until Views dropped) that have huge followings yet can’t do the same thing. Drake is the most popular rap artist yet it took IYRTITL & WATTBA months to go platinum. Please tell me you aren’t that naïve to believe that Adele’s sales haven’t been exaggerated or tampered with.

    4. @Darius no, the sales have not been tempered with and here’s why. Adelle’s music is actually good, she has classic and Radio stations are still playing songs from her old album, you can’t say the same for Beyonce. Nobody even remembers Beyonce hit song from her last album, it popped a hot little minute and people forgot about it real quick. You also have to put Europe and other continents in equation, nobody listens to Beyonce or Drake like that outside the USA. Its hard to believe but USA is not the World. Also Taylor Swift 1989 is almost a classic album and literally sh**s on Beyonce Lemonade and Drake views. You cant compare talented artist that make good music to Industry Hyped/Manufactured artists.
