ouch! Drake becomes the first artist to go Platinum in 2015

Drake is officially the first artist to reach platinum in 2015. His mixtape 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late' has so far sold over 1 million copies to date. He's not the first rapper, the first artist, period! The only other album to go platinum this year was Taylor Swift's 1989 but that came out in 2014.


Drake's most recent mixtape, "If You're Reading This It's Too Late," finally broke the platinum threshold of selling 1 million copies in the US on Monday since being released in February.
Drake is the first artist who released a record this calendar year and achieved such an accomplishment.
What's more is that it's Drake's fourth record in a row that has received platinum status, which means selling at least 1 million copies.
