Kanye West continues his ‘The Life Of Pablo’ dominance by going certified platinum. In doing so, the album becomes the first-ever, stream-only album to earn an RIAA platinum certification.

Although the album was released last February, it earned the certification after it achieved over 3-billion streams according to a press release from Def Jam. The streams equate to 1-million equivalent album sales. Last year the album became the first-ever stream-only album to reach the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

The “living album” was exclusively released on TIDAL before being available on other streaming services a month later. It had several alterations, updates, and different versions of certain songs with different features. It was innovative in the sense that it went through different transformations and was a working piece of art.

BIG ups, Ye.
