JAY-Z’s 4:44 is a Tidal only release at this point.
Meaning we don’t really have any sales info besides the numbers coming from the company he owns.
[Related: Beyoncé was asked to approve every song on JAY-Z’s 4:44.]
Nevertheless, the RIAA has seen enough to declare that 4:44 has accumulated the one million sales and streams necessary to be a Platinum album.

Congrats to @S_C_, ‘4:44’ is Certified Platinum by the @RIAA. http://TIDAL.com #RIAAPlatinum
That gives Hov his 13th Platinum album, which is the most in Hip Hop history.
4:44 Goes Platinum – JAY-Z’s 13 Platinum (or higher) solo studio Album Awards are more than any other hip hop artist. @s_c_@RocNation #444
We’ll see how high the 4:44 flies when it’s widely released later this week.
