BTS Earns 4 New Platinum And Gold Streaming Certifications In Japan

The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) has announced its latest batch of official certifications!

In 2020, the RIAJ implemented a new certification system for online streaming of songs, as an addition to its pre-existing certification systems for physical album shipments and digital download sales. According to the new system, songs are certified silver once they reach 30 million streams, gold at 50 million streams, and platinum at 100 million streams.

On May 27, the RIAJ announced a new batch of official certifications (dated April 2022) that confirm four BTS tracks have received new platinum and gold certifications for streaming.

BTS’s “Fake Love,” the title track of their 2018 album “Love Yourself: Tear,” has officially been certified platinum after surpassing 100 million streams in Japan.

Additionally, BTS’s “Answer: Love Myself,” “Mikrokosmos,” and “I NEED U” have all received gold certifications after reaching 50 million streams.

Congratulations to BTS!
