Although DONDA 2 isn’t Billboard eligible, Kanye West can celebrate the DONDA going certified platinum by the RIAA.

The Recording Industry Association of America recently noted that Ye’s tenth studio album received over 1 million equivalent album sales since its August 2021 release. The Platinum certification of DONDA stands as the artist’s ninth album to reach the achievement. Additionally, Kanye West’s “We Don’t Care” went Gold, “Runaway” and “Bound 2” both went 3X Platinum.

It is unclear if Kanye West plans to address DONDA 2 innovative yet challenging Stem Player release that restricts it from being part of charting.
