From the moment he hit the scene, Drake has been one of the biggest artists in the game and his record sales are high. At a time when record sales are low for almost everyone, there is no stopping Drake. Both his debut and sophomore albums were multiplatinum-selling albums.
When it came to Drake on his third album, Nothing Was The Same, it was evident the album would be one of the biggest of the year. The momentum the “Started From The Bottom” single had was undeniable. His run has continued with the “Hold On We’re Going Home” single, which is dominating radio right now.
Coming as no surprise, Drake has gone platinum with Nothing Was The Same. In a sense of irony, Lupe Fiasco pointed out the Drake/Rihanna/Eminem triangle and he went platinum the same day The Marshall Mathers LP 2 dropped. In the case of Drake, this is his third platinum album.
