Canadian artist Drake is one of the most commercially successful musicians of his generation, consistently shaping the sounds of contemporary hip-hop and pop music. Since his emergence in the late 2000s, he has become a global superstar known for a string of chart-topping albums and singles that blend rap with R&B sensibilities.
Released by surprise on February 13, 2015, If You're Reading This Its Too Late arrived with significant impact, blurring the lines between a commercial mixtape and a studio album. The project was issued through Young Money, Cash Money, and Republic Records and was noted for its darker, more minimalist production compared to Drake's previous work. Upon its release, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and broke Spotify's first-week streaming record at the time.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has now certified If You're Reading This Its Too Late as 5x Platinum. The certification, dated October 24, 2025, recognizes an equivalent of 5,000,000 units sold in the United States. This figure combines traditional album sales, song downloads, and on-demand audio and video streams.
