960x0ith sales like these, Drake can’t possibly have any woes left. Building off its robust weeklong tenure as an Apple AAPL +0.12% Music / iTunes exclusive, the Canadian rap superstar’s latest album Views has been officially certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), signifying two million in sales and sales equivalents. Those who have been following Views‘ lengthy six-weeks-and-counting tenure at the top of the Billboard 200 album charts won’t be surprised by this news. All but one of its tracks have appeared at least once in the Billboard Hot 100 since release, the lone outlier being the 2015 single “Hotline Bling” which reached that chart’s #2 position well before Views‘ release.
