Drake continues his Scorpion success with yet another milestone. According to the Recording Industry of Association of America (RIAA)’s website, the project was certified platinum on June 29, the day it dropped. That means Scorpion moved at least one million equivalent units in the U.S. in a single day. As a point of comparison, Post Malone’s beerbongs & bentleys was certified platinum four daysfollowing its release.

Drake’s double album recently broke Spotify’s record for most global streams for an album in one day—it racked up over 130 million total streams on its release date. In addition, he broke the streaming records on Apple Music and Amazon Music Unlimited. The rapper recently announced a CD edition of Scorpion, which is available July 13.
