SYCO/Epic RecordsWe’re now officially halfway through 2018, so the Recording Industry Association of America has counted up all the year’s album sales to determine the best-sellers of the last six months. And the winners are…Post Malone, Camila Cabello, Drake and more.
According to the RIAA, Post Malone’s album beerbongs and bentleys is the only disc in 2018 to have been certified double platinum for sales of two million units.
Moving down the list, there are only four albums that have been certified platinum for sales of a million units: Camila’s self-titled debut, Drake’s new album Scorpion, Culture II by rap trio Migos and the Black Panther soundtrack.
Only seven albums so far this year have been certified gold for sales of 500,000 units — they include Charlie Puth’s Voicenotes, Justin Timberlake‘s Man of the Woods and Cardi B‘s Invasion of Privacy.
The best-selling single so far this year is Drake’s multi-week #1 “God’s Plan,” which has sold eight million units. The best-selling pop single of 2018 to date is Camila’s “Never Be the Same,” which has been certified double platinum for sales of two million units.
