Jay Z’s ‘4:44′ Album Certified Platinum Within a Week

JAY-Z‘s new 4:44 album was only released last Thursday night (June 29), but the LP has already been certified platinum on Wednesday, July 5, according to the
Recording Industry Association of America.
Pictured above is Hov and RIAA Chairman and CEO Cary Sherman with the plaque for the album. “Props to JAY, he’s done it again!” said Sherman in a statement. “Another Platinum album adds to an already iconic career.”

This is Hov’s 13th platinum album plaque, more than any other artist in RIAA history. He’s also the only rapper with 10 or more platinum albums to his name.

Big congrats to Jay!
