If the controversy surrounding his on-wax battle with Meek Mill has proven anything for Drake, (you know, besides a win in the beef for him), it has also driven sales up because the past few weeks have catapulted his latest album into uncharted territory. The 6 God has now become the first artist in 2015 to have a platinum album, with his recently released If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.
The last week recorded by Nielsen Soundscan shows that he has now sold 1.007 million units cumulatively, only six months after its release. IYRTITL debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart its first week and now becomes the fourth album by Drizzy to go platinum.
He just went back to back to back to back. Literally.
