Despite an early album leak, A$AP Rocky's massive single "Fuckin Problem" has sold over 500,000 units.

One of the most hotly anticipated albums of 2012 was A$AP Rocky’s studio debut Long.Live.A$AP, which was pushed back to early 2013.  Unfortunately for the Harlem talent his album leaked well in advance of the January 15th release date.  This however, has not stopped his mammoth single “Fuckin Problem” from selling, as the single recently went Gold.

As one of the hottest tracks of 2012, Rocky linked up with 2 Chainz, Drake, and fellow rising star, Kendrick Lamar on “Fuckin Problems” and the tune became an overnight sensation.  Currently No. 6 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and No. 26 on the general Hot 100, over the holidays it topped the 500k mark and now has over 591,000 units sold.

This is a good sign for Pretty Flocko that enough people will be supporting his music that hopefully his Long.Live.A$AP LP will continue to sell despite the early leak.
