Future’s Self-Titled Album Is Certified Gold

Future’s fifth studio LP, which spawned the top 5 hit “Mask Off,” has sold over 500,000 units since its Feb. 17, 2017 release date. “Future” now has a gold plaque from the Recording Industry Association of America.

 

Although this is not the rapper’s first RIAA certification, it is his fastest. Future now has five RIAA Album Awards, he earned gold with 2012’s “Pluto,” 2014’s “Honest,” and 2016’s “EVOL,” while 2015’s “DS2″ is certified platinum.

In March, Future made history by becoming the first artist to earn back-to-back No. 1 debuts in consecutive weeks, with “FUTURE” and “HNDRXX,” which debuted with 121,000 equivalent album units.

Future’s label, Epic Records, celebrated the news. “@1future has earned his FIFTH RIAA Album Award! #FUTURE is now Gold!” they tweeted. Future is currently on his “Nobody Safe Tour” with Migos, Tory Lanez, and A$AP Ferg, which started last night in Memphis, Tennessee.
