garbage! BTW this isn’t DRAKE and you aint WEEKnd.. Strop pretendin
Because it isn’t about 1st week sales it’s about cumulative.
He was at 633K on Jan 5th – 1 mill on Jan 8th you mean to tell me you believe he sold the equivalent of his first week in 3 days?!?!? 6 months after the release!??!
google bought 500k
633k is the cumulative amount
same reason Good Kid Maad City was certified platinum about a month before it actually sold a million…it’s always been this way dude….
It sold a million world wide… not in the US. #rapradarfail
shipped platinum
they must be counting free downloads lmao
Haven’t even heard it
Kendrick goes platinum – sell +1kk
Macklemore goes platinum – sell +1kk
Jay Z goes platinum sell – sell +1kk
Drake goes Double Platinum (Take Care) – sell +2kk
Drake goes Platinum (NWTS) – sell +1kk
KANYE GOES PLATINUM – SELL 633K
hahahahahahahahahahaha
incorrect, I know for a fact Kendrick received the platinum plaque about a month before it actually passed 1mill sold…
Yea but Kendrick was ACTUALLY on pace to clear 1 million, not just barely passing gold.
Dudes numbers are like 630k+ in the U.S so how is he platinum?
The RIAA don’t usually certify an album platinum based on worldwide sales so that’s pretty strange.
there is a platinum shipment certification and platinum sales certification if yall confused

This nigga Kanye eatin (see full figured stomach above).
Lmao
That was truly funny. Word
Asian pussy with sweet and sour sauce?
so Cole is platinum too since we talkin shipped copies????
no if it was platnium RIAA would’ve certified it.
Damn, so this nigga beat Cole?
He been beat Cole cause the comp was only for first week sales, but Cole did reach gold before him. That’s why everybody think Cole outsold Ye, but from what I understood it was only pose to be first week sales.
Couldn’t have. Maine shit is better sonically, what’s fducking w/ that
Shipped copies lol anything to justify this album is good lol (certified crap)
hahaha those sheep bought this trash probably thought “Yeezus” was so genius and creative, its ahead of its time, and that the people who didnt like it are nothing but simple minded and close minded people that had the album go over their heads,,,, cause the album is trash lyrically and musically,,,,,, “im at a french cafe ,,, b. i.t .c.h wheres my croisant” wow!! thats some next level shlt,,, and im just too ignorant to understand its genius,,, i guess all the ranting paid off, he kept screaming that the album was the best thing to ever happened to music, and manipulated the sheep into thinking its good, just like how he self proclaimed to be a genius and kept repeating and now thats all what people call him, even when he sneezes on a record its considered a classic
Why are you so mad? Just because you don’t like an album means everybody else has to hate it to?
Ironically this album turn is when he did the most media and stayed in the news all day but still failed to out do his old shit. The fans have spoken – good music before gimmicks.
shame that you cats really didn’t know these certifications are determined on shipments…smh….
I don’t get the shipment thing – I doubt a million physical copies were shipped if nowadays most purchases are digital…do you count digital copies as “shipments” ?!?!?!? Anyways…633k sales to date assuming 250k are physical…That means there’s another 750k copies just sitting on shelves yet the album is still considered platinum…SMH!
even his wack album went plat, dam…
Yall sone hatin ass fuckbags. Bet y’all would be trying to take pics if you met him for ig likes
Just means major retailers like bestbuy ordered more of the album because it still sells the album still sold for Kanye. Like Jay-z selling his album to Samsung and going platinum before it even released
Yea the RIAA certification process is kinda bullshit. He’s getting a plaque simply because the warehouse decided to ship out the last 400k+ units of the “Yeezus” album that may NEVER get sold.
Definitely a PR move to bring attention to the album since it sold so low.
Also, double albums get counted as 2 units. So when a double album goes diamond, “only” 5 million people actually bought the album.
Yeezy chunky
this article was bound 2 be awful before you even wrote that cringe-worthy pun
