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.
This month, SEVENTEEN earned an official platinum certification for their 2016 hit “VERY NICE,” which surpassed 100 million streams in Japan.
Meanwhile, IVE’s “Baddie,” aespa’s “Supernova,” TWICE’s “ONE SPARK,” and BIGBANG’s Taeyang’s “EYES, NOSE, LIPS” were all certified gold after surpassing 50 million streams each in Japan.
Congratulations to all of the artists!
