Tidal, the streaming service that exclusively has the record available for download for its first week, claims that the album has already shifted over 1.4 million copies. The company confirms that one million of those were paid for and given away to fans by Samsung, so that leaves 400,000 copies that have been sold to expectant fans.

According to Tidal, ANTI is set to be certified by the RIAA—the organization that hands out plaques signifying when a record has gone gold, platinum, or diamond—this afternoon, in effect honoring the one million-plus downloads that the album has thus far accrued. If the speed at which this record continues to move keeps up, a second platinum certification might not be far off.
Love Rih to death but you know this some bull. If she was slaying this much, HDD and Billboard would be all over it w/ hourly updates on how fast it's selling. iTunes is the #1 digital retailer for music and TIDAL ain't ****. So this is not me saying Rih couldn't do 400k, this is me saying TIDAL doesn't have that sort of pull. The album is platinum and is selling well on iTunes rn. Why are they setting her up by reporting these numbers?
