Peruse of the updated Billboard 200 reveals Doja Cat‘s GRAMMY-nominated tertiary album, 2021’s ‘PLANET HER,’ is the week’s best commercially-performing female Rap album as it’s still orbiting in the chart’s topmost quadrant (#47 this week).
Its ongoing success across Billboard comes as the result of rocking radio with as well as steady streams and digital downloads of its slew of smashes including the Hot 100 top 10 hits ‘Woman,’ ‘Kiss Me More,’ ‘Get Into It (Yuh),’ and more.
That enduring presence on charts is also the reason the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) recently took to press to share news several of her most beloved titles had received certification upgrades.
Look inside for details.
On Thursday (November 17), the RIAA announced 14 entries from Cat’s discography had clawed their way to a new certification threshold.
See the full updated list below.
6x Platinum
- ‘Say So’ (Single)
5x Platinum
- ‘Kiss Me More (featuring SZA) (Single)
4x Platinum
- ‘Streets’ (Single)
- ‘Need to Know’ (Single)
3x Platinum
- ‘Woman’ (Single)
2x Platinum
- ‘Ain’t Sh*t’ (Single)
- ‘Get Into It (Yuh)’ (Single)
- ‘Hot Pink’ (Album)
- ‘Planet Her’ (Album)
1x Platinum (denotes sales of 1 million in the United States)
- ‘Freak’ (Single)
- ‘Go To Town’ (Single)
- ‘Vegas’ (Single)
Gold (denotes sales of 500,000 in the U.S.)
- ‘Been Like This’
- ‘Won’t Bite (featuring SMINO)
The updates push Doja’s collective digital sales to 42 million in the U.S., making her one of the best-selling acts of the era. In fact, when all female acts are considered, Doja ranks 10th on the all-time digital sales list behind Rihanna (155.5 million), Taylor Swift (137.5 million), Beyonce (114 million), Katy Perry (109.5 million), Lady Gaga (80.5 million), Ariana Grande (63.5 million), Cardi B (54 million), Mariah Carey (52.5 million), and Carrie Underwood (48 million).
Among key callouts from the brigade of Cat’s new certifications are ‘Say So,’ her inaugural Hot 100 #1 hit, extending its reign as her highest-certified single to date as well as the 2x Platinum standing of two of her studio albums, ‘Hot Pink’ and ‘Planet Her.’
Thanks to their refreshed statuses they make Cat the second female rapper in history to see at least 2 studio efforts reach such a certification standard. Before her, Nicki Minaj – the all-time leader among females (with 3 multiPlatinum sets) – was the first when her 2014 LP ‘The Pinkprint’ left its print on a double Platinum plaque in early 2016 and joined her previously 3x Platinum-certified 2010 effort ‘Pink Friday.’ Minaj’s 2012 release, ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,’ was also elevated to 2x Platinum in 2016.
It’s worth noting that Missy Elliott kicked off the year by entering RIAA history books as the first and only female rapper to own 6 Platinum-certified albums. However, at time reported, her only multiPlatinum body of work is 2002’s ‘Under Construction.’

Nicky is only multi platinum because of streams even pink Friday didn’t go double platinum until like 5 years after Release and it went triple when streams became a factor. All these accolades are only due to her being apart of the streaming era. She couldn’t hold a candle to Missy or Kims over all physical sales
Amen!
yep!
Female MCs didn’t set the bar THAT HIGH which is how POP STAR Nikki was able to claim the QUEEN title (until Cardi B)…
Notice how Nikki is NOT mentioned the Digital Top 10. Does NOT have a super successful album on SPOTIFY. No Grammy. Only 1 Diamond POP hit. & Not solo #1 hit to speak of until Now.
Meanwhile Cardi Came through the gate Solo with a REAL ORGANIC HIT. And 3X Plat with IOP. Which is more successful than any Nikki album.
Here goes the fat lady with diabetis talking s*** out her neck again! Girl stop wasting your energy,nicki minaj remains the most AWARDED/highest EARNING/highest SELLING female rapper worldwide!! QUEEN OF RAP!
Shut yo fat ass no neck having ass up. Nicki is the premiere female rapper of the world. The highest selling female rapper and is listed as one of the best selling artist of all time (numbers don’t lie) it’s 2022 and we still talking about her.
Super shittty girl 29m youtube views/ 900.000 likes (!)
Garbaj bought likes but it didnt work
And all these new b****** are multi platinum bc of streams as well
Kim couldn’t that’s for sure!
Lmao….Let’s come back to reality. Pink Friday debuted with 375,000 pure sales, the 2nd highest pure sales by a female rapper (Lauryn hill has the highest). So if Kim and Missy had higher pure sales Nicki wouldn’t be number 2. Cardi’s Invasion of privacy did 103,000 pure sales. Cardi is actually the one surviving off streams and given that her label Atlantic is being exposed for bots and fake stream, it makes sense why her pure sales don’t match her streams.
Umm cardi RIAA sales are 100 million not 54 million
No. RIAA only credits artists with songs they are lead on. Only fans count features and “eligible tracks.”
Cardi is nowhere near 100million
54 million with 1 album not bad keep watching them second album sales gonna put her over 100 million
When u said “only fans” I thought u meant the nasty site I was about to say when they start a music chart 🤣
@Dc and several mixtapes and nearly 10 years of dropping music.
Not Cardi B AND Doja surpassing Nikki…
the Q****. 😭🤣😂
Just like Taylor surpassed beyonce and Rihanna 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@FAF yaaaaaaaaaaas! Taylor is QUEEN!
All 3 surpassed Nicki’s mediocre sales having ass lmao
My Queen Qih leading these M’Fs lol. Anyways post aint bout her its about my Queen still, Nicki. At this point she’s larger than life and has achieved everything these b*tches only dream of lol. She makes em feel like they’ve wasted years on the wrong career lmaoo
She paid lot of money to for mass buying super shittty girl. Queen of frauds
Just like Rihanna paid for all those radio adds. Both are frauds. That’s what that loser supports.
Congrats Doja! It’s funny how both her albums were slow burners on the charts. But I think her 4th album is gonna open with huge numbers after Planet Her, we’ll see
Yaaaaaaaaaaas Paulo! 💯
