PABLO CRUISES TO ANOTHER FIRST
You may recall that last year, Kanye West's The Life of Pablo (G.O.O.D./Def Jam) became the first streaming-only album to hit #1 (with 90k+ SEA). Now the Grammy-nominated release has become the first such set to be certified platinum by the RIAA. Pablo has reportedly earned more than 3 billion streams worldwide.
Of course, Kanye has also won 22 Grammys, sold 30m+ albums globally, made TIME's 100 Most Influential People in the World list twice, earned both critical plaudits and tabloid fame and long occupied a rarefied perch in the fashion world.
We, meanwhile, recently figured out how to make a serviceable pipe out of a toilet-paper roll. So, like, we're geniuses too, right?
