Kanye West's latest album Yeezus has officially been certified Gold by the RIAA this week.

The 10-track album, featuring production by Daft Punk, Rick Rubin, and guest appearances from Chief Keef, King L, and Kid Cudi, among others, leaked five days before its official release on June 18.

Yeezus landed on the Billboard 200 with 327,000 copies during opening week and its sales have now exceeded a little over 500,000 units.

However, album sales dropped dramatically in the following week also making Yeezus the fourth-largest second week sales decline for a No. 1 debuting album in SoundScan history.
