Nice. Yeezus is subpar compared to other Kanye albums, but it is nice to see it got that platinum plaque.

Don't forget Google bought albums to give them away for free. So much for that "fuck corporation" bullshit.

I wonder if Yeezus is ever going platinum in sales numbers, other words, do a milli.
He's at 633K or something like that and only moved 6K units last week, so I don't see that happening tbh
