Streaming was the best thing to happen to his career. All of his albums except his debut are certified now.

His debut was better than his last few albums.

I think PPP was the closest to Platinum in actual sales. Good for him though.

Seems like "Ready" would be the biggest seller. That one had a ton of hits from it.

Ready had five singles to PPP's four, but PPP had the bigger songs - his biggest crossover hit to date (Bottoms Up) and his longest running r&b/hip-hop #1 as well (Can't Be Friends). PPP also had the benefit of capitalizing on Ready's late momentum. Ready's bigger hits were all on the back end of that era, and instead of stretching it out for more singles he chose to move on quickly to the next album.

I Gotta Make It was right at 400k when Trey Day dropped so I can foresee a certification for it down the line as well. It's gonna be interesting to see how well streaming bolsters the opening week for his next album.

I think I was surprised at "N!gga"'s opening cause he "Na Na" wasn't booming at first.
