As the year wraps up, artists are preparing their last-minute releases, but Drake is still counting his checks from VIEWS as the album is now officially certified four times platinum. The RIAA acknowledged the LP selling 4 million units on December 1.
The project just dropped out of the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart for the first time since its release at the end of April, selling under 31,000 equivalent album units. VIEWS‘ stream game remains strong as Drake was named Spotify’s most-streamed artist this year for back-to-back titles. “One Dance” is Spotify’s most-streamed song of all-time and also gave the Toronto star his first #1 song on the Hot 100 chart.
VIEWS opened with 1 million sales as it topped the chart upon its release in April. It has since been streamed more than 1 billion times on Apple Music and 3 billion times on Spotify.
Other recently announced RIAA certifications include a platinum certification for Madeintyo’s “Uber Everywhere,” a double-platinum plaque for Kevin Gates’ “Really Really” and a gold certification for 500,000 units of 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s “No Heart.”
We really truly don’t care that a bunch of junior high school girls bought his album. He is not hip hop!
The real Talib Kweli has given Drake praise before, so go fuck yourself! #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
Then he found out he doesn’t write his own shit. And your life of backing drake became a joke. You clown ass bitch. Go bend over for drake some more u low life piece of shit. I hope you fall on a pointy nail you smelly old vagina
Your name should be OVOsbitch.
No stopping Drizzaveli ever! He’s bulletproof at this point. Any jabs thrown at him will have no effect whatsoever. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
Cool story, Felicia. #OVOffYourself
70% of his fans wear high heels, the other 30% are queers like yourself that wear sandals. #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK
Drake is running this shit.
I gracefully bow out.
j3ws support him that’s why he went 4x platinum.
Congrats to the 100+ people who wrote and produced the album, also hat tip to the main actor on it, Drake!
Id like to know the pure sales figure, not including streams.. 1.5 mill at most
Roughly around 1.6 mill apparently
Still more than your favorite rapper lol
They don’t want you to hate on 4 million albums sold, so I guess you will hate on 4 million albums sold. Don’t ever play yourself.
Must be a bunch of gay ass dudes buying his garbage album. Hip hop is so messed up now….buying albums from a clown that dont even write his own music.
Lmao the numbers include YouTube streams and allllll types of other shit. The music industry is so fuckin fake
And your favorite rapper could not even go platinum with the new metric.
Hahahaha god people are really bitter…life’s meant to be fun.
Drake runs American music. Wonder how yall let him run it down there. Lol
being an actor pretending to be a rapper, gay pretending to be heterosexual, soft pretending to be tuff, fake pretending to be real, bad singer pretending to be good
and yet it will always be TRASH
LOL LOL LOL MEEKAS SHIT BARELY GO GOLD
boy them Drake haters gone be mad at this bruh
People really need to find better things to get angry at, like the “standing rock” situation where people are trying to steal resources from it’s citizens. How you hate him when you never met the man? There are more important things to be overly emotionally invested in. Stop the hate. Better yourselves. Better the world.
club hits own the game now thats just how it is.
