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.

In the RIAJ’s newly announced batch of certifications, BTS earned a platinum certification for Jungkook’s solo track “Euphoria,” which was included on the group’s 2018 album “Love Yourself: Answer.”

Jungkook also went platinum with the clean version of his official solo debut single “Seven,” which has now surpassed 100 million streams in Japan.
