Drake’s “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” Secures Platinum Status

Last Friday, Headline Planet exclusively confirmed that Drake’s “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” became the first 2015 release to cross the 1 million US sales mark.

Amid that sales achievement, “If You’re Reading This” has officially earned a platinum distinction from the RIAA.

The standard platinum certification confirms a US shipment total in excess of 1 million. While some releases benefit greatly of “shipment” qualification, Drake’s album has indeed secured 1 million customer purchases.

Since it had not been previously certified, “If You’re Reading This” also received a retroactive gold certification.
