Polo G’s Debut Album ‘Die A Legend’ Certified Platinum

    Roughly a year and three months after its release, the very much alive Polo G’s debut studio album Die A Legend has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over 1,000,000 units in the United States.

    “This 1 Classic Ass Project Fasho I made dis shìt in like 4months didn’t take too much time I jus kept it real, Polo G told his nearly five-million strong Instagram following before asking them, “What’s 1 of Yo favorite tracks From here???”

    Released on June 7, 2019, the 14-track effort spawned the hit single “Pop Out,” which was certified 4x-platinum and propelled the career of fellow rap star Lil Tjay.

    The momentum generated from Die A Legend has clearly shifted into the rollout felt from its follow-up effort, The GOAT. Far from a sophomore slump, that album has accrued more than one billion streams, spent over two months in the top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, has already been certified Gold.

      1. but it does…the criteria has changed as stated by the riaa…album sales are a thing of the past…the industry has shifted to streaming…1mil equivalent units means he surely had streams more than 10x that….this is just the way it is now complain all you want.

        1. Not complaining, it’s just funny. And you’re right, physical sales and streaming numbers are two completely different categories. So then don’t try and compare streaming “sales” and accolades to people who sold physical units either. Get a separate category for those honors. Too many lames thinking they are in the same breathe as legends.

          1. true dat. ur right…going platinum off a 1mill physical copies sold is harder…most of these artists today will never touch dat…but I don’t blame the artists really…i blame the fans that are too lazy to buy records anymore…apple music, spotify and these other stream services certainly have put a stop to ppl buying albums. its sad…i still buy albums particularly vinyl but thats just me
