Adele may have blocked him from topping the Billboard Hot 100 with the single but that hasn’t stopped Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling‘ from saying ‘Hello‘ to a silver certification in the United Kingdom.
Good news for the Champagne Papi below…
Household name status still evades the rapper in the market but a swelling fan base has ensured that his releases nab healthy chart positions with the support of radio.
So, it may come as little to surprise to them that the single has surpassed sales of 200,000 units in their neck of the woods following the unveiling of its meme-inspiring visual.
Its new certification is secured before the unveiling of his long-awaited album ‘Views From the 6’ which follows the mix tape era (see ‘What a Time To Be Alive‘ and ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’) ‘Bling’ was spawned from.
