Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway musical “Hamilton” keeps reaching for the stars. Aside from the record-breaking attributes they’ve already accomplished this year, they’ve just hit another milestone.

Half-million sales is a pretty big deal no matter what you’re doing. But the fact that a broadway musical, that contains mostly hip hop influence, is banking that much? Props to the creative genius that is Lin-Manuel Miranda.
How big of a deal is this? Check out the Accolades according to Billboard:
Hamilton is the No. 12 largest-selling cast recording in the U.S. since Nielsen Music began tracking sales in 1991. (Only 12 cast albums have sold a half-million copies in the U.S. since 1991.) Hamilton is also the biggest selling cast album released in more than 10 years. The last cast recording released with greater sales is the original Broadway cast recording of Jersey Boys, which bowed on Nov. 1, 2005 and has sold 1.4 million to date.
