BTS Earns Their 1st RIAJ Platinum Certification For Downloads In Japan With "Dynamite"

BTS’s smash hit “Dynamite” has become their first song to be certified platinum for digital downloads in Japan!

As of March 18, the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) has officially awarded “Dynamite” a platinum certification in the download category for surpassing over 250,000 digital download sales.

Although BTS has previously received platinum certifications from the RIAJ for both physical albums and online streaming of songs—in fact, BTS became the first foreign group in RIAJ history ever to earn a platinum certification for streaming last December—this new achievement marks the first time that one of their songs has received a platinum certification for downloads.

According to the RIAJ’s certification thresholds, songs are certified gold once they reach 100,000 downloads and platinum at 250,000 downloads.

“Dynamite” also became BTS’s first song to go double platinum in the United States earlier this week.

Congratulations to BTS on their impressive achievement!
