As of Friday, Drake has earned 55 new platinum and multi-platinum song certifications, making him the RIAA's Top Digital Song Artist with 142 million digital single sales certified. The newly certified songs include Scorpion's "God's Plan," now 8 times platinum, and "Nice For What," now 3 times platinum. Other certifications include "Passionfruit" (3x platinum), "Started From The Bottom" (5x platinum), "One Dance" (7x platinum), "Hold On We're Going Home" (6x platinum), and "Back To Back" (2x platinum).
Scorpion is reportedly eligible for platinum certification as well, based solely off the sales of its advance singles "God's Plan," "Nice For What," and "I'm Upset." Earlier today, it was reported that Scorpion was pulling in 10 million streams per hour on Spotify. Hits Daily Double has claimed the album moved 30,000 iTunes album sales overnight.
