Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR just scored two major milestones from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), less than a year after dropping their joint project.
As of Monday (November 10), their debut collaborative album $ome $exy $ongs 4U has officially been certified Platinum, marking over one million album-equivalent units sold. Released on Valentine’s Day, $$$ 4U also shattered Apple Music’s record for the most-streamed R&B/Soul album globally on its first day.
The 21-track project features standout singles like “Gimmie a Hug” and “Nokia,” both of which Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR performed during their Some Special Shows 4 U co-headlining tour over the summer.
“Nokia” has also earned its own RIAA Platinum certification, while six other tracks from $ome $exy $ongs 4U—including “CN Tower,” “Spiderman Superman,” and “Die Trying”—have gone Gold. To top it off, their fan-favorite “Somebody Loves Me” just snagged a 2026 Grammy nomination for Best Melodic Rap Performance.
Since dropping $ome $exy $ongs 4U, Drake has been back in the studio working on his ninth solo album, Iceman. He’s been teasing the project through Instagram posts and the occasional livestream, with the LP expected to drop by the end of 2025—just in time for winter.
