Following dominating numbers of over 600-thousand units in its first week making it the year’s biggest debut, Kendrick Lamar’s highly-praised ‘DAMN.’ album goes platinum, after only three weeks of being released.
The success of Kendrick’s third release follows his previous two releases, ‘good kid, m.A.A.d. city’ and ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’, which also earned platinum plaques. However, ‘DAMN.’ is shaping up to be Dot’s most-successful project to date, with all the accolades it has already reached.
‘DAMN.’ is on pace to chart at No. 1 for the third straight week and in its second week it sold a staggering 238,000 equivalent album units (87,000 traditional). It has already garnered over 600-million streams. The album has also created top-10 charting singles in “HUMBLE.” currently charting at No. 1 and “DNA.” currently No. 7.
