artist stats Drake currently has 244M RIAA certified single units, by far the most of any artist

[onewillowsilk]

And before anyone comes in here to speak of features, these are lead credit units only. 

 

He still has some albums as well as dozens of songs under-certified. If this is a major update across his entire discography being done (he's had certification updates released in the last 2 days), some more updates could be on the way. 

 

UPDATE: I called it. He got new certifications. He's now up to 227M certified single units.

LMAOO Where are the Swifties?

 

All of ATRL will avoid this thread lmaoo. Drake is STILL clearly HIM

[TouchinFree]

Oh wow congrats to him. He's quite popular amongst Genz Z. Also Rihanna officially the biggest female popstar of our generation is very fitting for her  But then again ithink we've all known how powerful she is. 

[Katamari]

See when you have iconic album tracks

[Sweetenertea]

Omg! Congratulations to our lesbian icon Drake! 🥰✨💃

Huge for him, also would like to point out he's not local surely he's biggest in the US but songs like Hotline Bling - One dance - Mia were everywhere. 

[BnPac]

That's huge.

God's Plan, Hotline Bling, Life Is Good, One Dance, and SICKO MODE (RIAA have him credited) are all certified Diamond or higher in the United States.

You already know how it goes on here. They love to act like the music industry only consists of female acts.

Not massive at all. Didn't even update up to half of all that's up for being updated. If he updated everything, he'd surpass 300M certified single units.

oths are truly unhinged 

 

taylor isnt even first for females so why would swifties care about this achievement especially when its not related to taylor as well 

 

congrats to him

where are all the losers that call him a flop?? I think some on ATRL are genuinely ignorant to anything that doesn’t revolve around generic pop music but I think a lot of people are threatened that he’s one of the biggest RAPPERS and POPSTARS, a king of versatility… some can’t relate. Legend TBH

People think just because their Babushka from Warsaw doesn't know who Drake is means he's not a superstar. 

 

I have my gripes with his recent music but the dude is factually one of the biggest hitmakers of the last 15 years. 

[slw84]

Good for him.

[Raspberries]

The way nothing from Hair Loss or For All the Turds will do anything close to his old hits
