Kanye West may be making more headlines for his personal and political antics than his professional, but diehard fans are still keeping their eyes and ears on his prized catalog.

Proof of this has come via the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) which recently updated its certification logs to better reflect West’s sales status in the United States.  From content found aboard his debut album, 2004’s ‘College Dropout,’ to his later works ‘Life of Pablo’ (2016) and ‘Ye’ (2018), the GRAMMY-winning rapper/producer saw over 30 of his songs upgraded in the RIAA books with the highest coming as the now 9x Platinum certified hit, ‘Stronger’ (2007).

His refreshed cumulative tally, which equates to approximately 105 million in digital U.S. sales, makes him the fifth most successful artist of the digital era – trailing only behind Drake, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Eminem.

The win makes him the first male artist who debuted in the 2000s to cross the 100M barrier in digital sales.  Look inside to see the updates:
