Kanye West’s The Life Of Pablo dropped over a year ago, but it’s still setting records. Yeezy’s last album is the first streaming-only album to ever be certified platinum by the RIAA.
Despite no CD or vinyl of the release, the album streaming equivalents have reached one million in sales.
Back in April 2016, the project was the first LP to go no. 1 on Billboard via streaming only. Up until April 1, the album, which was released on February 14, had been a TIDAL exclusive.
The current industry standard is that 1500 streams is equivalent to one one album sale. According to Def Jam, The Life Of Pablo has been streamed 3 billion times globally.
Now what does Yeezy make more money off of, his album sales or his adidas kicks? Hmm…
