Confirmed:They must have tracked the "sales" via the voucher code that was floating around. If you put in "sprint" on Tidal's site, you could download the album. The plaque means, they hit the 1 mill downloads. I gave the code to my brother and it told him it was invalid.
Black excellency
The fact is Jay sold records in the Physical era and sold a lot. People want to be mad at the Samsung and Sprint deals yet we are suppose to accept all these "Streaming Plats"?. Jay has a resume of consistent Plats since the 90's where people went out and actually brought the copies. I question these new dudes going Plat way more than Jay because he has a proven body of work. Nobody can tell me this album isn't going Plat. It will do 400-500K physical next week for sure. But damn 17 Platinum albums, 13 solo. Jay has a chance to have 20 Platinum albums. I don't think this record will ever be broken. This dude was going Platinum when I was a teenager and now I'm in a grown man and he's still going Platinum. Jay is hot no matter when he drops. He just came off a 4 year break too. Jay's first week numbers will be just as much as K Dot's, Drake's or Cole and he came out several decades before them. This is what a Legendary Iconic Career looks like.

Subtle shots at Drizzy.
