Drake's VIEWS was just certified double platinum by the RIAA after only 6 weeks of release, making it his fastest-selling album yet. While the OVO rapper's sales potential is at an all-time high, he's been racking up plaques for years now, so we're looking back to take a look at the many platinum and multi-platinum singles he's earned over the course of his career.
We're only looking at songs where Drake is billed as a lead artist here, so features don't count, but tracks where he's billed alongside Future (or any other artist) are. We are not looking at any of Drake's gold singles here, though there are many ("Miss Me," "Successful," "Marvins Room," "HYFR," "Shot For Me," "The Language"). Click through to see all of the tracks who have been certified platinum by the RIAA, as well as their peak on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
