As of Monday (May 14), J. Cole’s recently released KODalbum has been certified gold by the RIAA, which means the album has sold over 500,000 equivalent units.
The accomplishment comes less than a month after Cole dropped KOD on April 20.
In its first week, KOD moved 396,628 album-equivalent units, which was the biggest sales week of 2018 at the time.
In addition to its gold status, KOD debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart upon its release — Cole’s fifth consecutive project to hit the top spot. After three weeks, the album is currently in the #2 spot on the chart.
