"Illmatic was released on April 19, 1994 through Columbia Records in the United States.[48] The album also featured international distribution that same year in countries including France, the Netherlands, Canada and the United Kingdom.[54][55][56][57] In its first week of release, Illmatic made its debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart at number 12, while selling 59,000 copies.[58] In spite of this, initial record sales fell below expectations.[5] The album's five radio singles failed to obtain considerable Billboard success, as each single did not gain significant charting on theBillboard Hot 100. The lead single "Halftime" only charted on the Hot Rap Singles chart at number 8, while "Life's a bytch" did not chart at all.[59] While initial sales were low, the album was eventually certified gold in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on January 17, 1996 after shipping 500,000 copies; the RIAA later certifiedIllmatic platinum on December 11, 2001, following shipments in excess of one million copies.[58] In April 2002, the album was also certified gold by the Canadian Recording Industry Associationfor shipments in excess of 50,000 copies in Canada.[60]"I was homeless and the streets used to bump that album
