For Sean Don, who is gearing up to drop his Detroit 2 album, the tally reaches nine-strong. Dark Sky Paradise hit double platinum, "Bounce Back" hit quintuple platinum, and "Moves" hit double platinum; on the gold side, we're looking at "I Do It," "All Your Fault" with Kanye West, "Living Single" with Chance The Rapper, "Sacrifices" with Migos, Single Again," and "Berzerk" with A$AP Ferg and Hit-Boy. Clearly, Sean's music remains in high demand, and his fans have clearly made up for lost time by revisiting his many major tunes. Congratulations go out to the Detroit emcee, who continues to prove his commercial viability with another strong showing.
As for Tity Boi, who himself is due to drop off So Help Me God on September 25th, the haul comes in a pack of six. On the platinum side, we're looking at the Drake-assisted "No Lie" hitting triple platinum, "4 AM" going double platinum, "I'm Different" going triple platinum, and "It's A Vibe" doing the same. Gold-wise, Tity Boi adds "Riot" and the Lil Wayne-assisted "MFN Right." Not too shabby for one of rap's most consistent, and don't expect these to be the last Tity hangs upon his wall.
