QuoteAccording to the Recording Industry Association Of America (RIAA) and Chart News, Nicki Minaj?s latest studio album, The Pinkprint, has reached double Platinum status.

This means that the project has reached over 2 million sales since it was first released on December 15th back in 2014.

If you didn?t already know, the RIAA have adjusted its rules to let streaming count towards album certifications, which is why we didn?t hear about The Pinkprint going Platinum after going Gold last year.

I love Nicki, but wtf??!!? "Pink Friday" (debut) is supposedly sitting at 1.9 million domestically, and is only certified platinum. "The Pinkprint" is barely gold, and is double platinum!

:dead:

Yeah, they are. I understand why she is, it's just so bizarre to go from seeing little over 600k in December of 2015 from ChartNews to February of 2016 a 1.4 million gain!

Nah, The Pinkprint was streamed for fckin POINTS and she was named the most streamed-female of 2014. She deserves this. Although, not everybody will be booking this, considering her streams were astronomical a bit
