In a year full of more quality rap albums than usual, Drake’s “Nothing Was The Same” album was definitely one of the most anticipated releases. Now Drizzy is getting the credit he’s due, as the album has officially sold a million copies, making it his third platinum album. As reported bet.com:

“The Grammy winner’s third studio effort, Nothing Was the Same, sold an additional 38,274 copies this week, pushing the Toronto native past the one million mark. The feat is the second rap album, behind Jay Z’s Magna Carta Holy Grail, to reach platinum this year.

“Released Sept. 24, NWTS topped the Billboard 200 charts with 658,000 domestic copies sold in a week, and debuted within the top two spots on album charts in Denmark, Australia, the U.K. and Drake’s home country, Canada.”

Drake is currently performing on the road for his Would You Like A Tour? concert series, which serves as promo for the “Nothing Was The Same” album. The Canadian rapper is probably hoping for multi-platinum status.
