lonnie Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Just now, Shelter said: He already got **** the last time he did it. Where? Point it out where because I see a lot of people that were "dragging" Rih for her certification are defending him for his, it doesn't add up

A company buying someone's album in bulk should not be taken into account by RIAA - it doesn't reflect consumer demand at all. The RIAA tracks and certifies sales and sales equivalents; charts reflect consumption and the Sprint downloads won't count for the charts.
Aziah. Posted July 5, 2017 Author Posted July 5, 2017 You all do know that a company won't purchase 1 million copies of just anyone's album right?
NumbSoul Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 I mean if Sprint bought those copies, then I don't see the problem. Congrats to Jay
iHype. Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 And @Superpower and @6_INCH_HEELS came at me when I said Sprint would buy him a Platinum plaque this era
Suga&Grits Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 This album is still trending everywhere why are you guys acting like he isn't a Legend ?

How the **** is this album platinum when it's not for sale and nobody has talked about it since the day it came out? This man is an all around FRAUD Sprint also bought 1 million copies and is giving them on 444.tidal.com like Anti and Magna Carta. He he is so desperate to be seen as successful everytime lol.
Thuggin Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 2 hours ago, Tinashebanks said: Jay-Z’s 13th and latest studio album, “4:44,” has been certified platinum by the RIAA, based purely on streaming numbers, less than six days after its June 30 release. The news was announced officially on Wednesday morning (July 5) by both the RIAA and Jay’s label, Roc Nation, although judging by the photo of him with RIAA CEO Cary Sherman, it may have passed the mark (or been anticipated) much earlier. http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/jay-z-444-certified-platinum-purely-on-streaming-tidal-1202487447/ Another platinum plaque incoming So what does this mean? He got 1.5 billion streams from Tidal alone? I don't buy it. EDIT: Oh, never mind, so Sprint downloads are included? Still sketchy.

The album is still up for download on 444.tidal.com indicating all million downloads haven't been used up yet. All he literally did was get Sprint to buy a million copies.

You clearly don't look into illegal download/pirating stats and rely on charts to get stats. Not getting a million would have been utterly embarrassing!

UNNAMI Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 if I am no wrong it would have streaming of 1,5b to get platinum, right?
JBJT2786 Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Ya fuming over this when he had a deal with Samsung on the last album and still went platinum in pure sales. I mean....
Cap10Planet Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 You don't even need Sprint to get that free download. Just put in the promo code SPRINT and you can download the album for free. I am not a Sprint user and just downloaded the album.
pabloanxiety Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 would TIDAL (owned by Jay Z) lie about his numbers?
