Circle Chart (formerly known as Gaon Chart) has announced its latest batch of official certifications!
In 2018, the Korea Music Content Industry Association implemented a new certification system for album sales, song downloads, and online streaming. Starting with music released on or after January 1, 2018, Circle Chart now certifies albums platinum once they reach 250,000 sales, while albums that have sold a million copies or more receive a “million” certification.
This month, NCT DREAM earned a double million certification for selling over 2 million copies of their latest mini album “DREAM( )SCAPE.”
Meanwhile, BTS’s j-hope’s “HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1,” ILLIT’s “SUPER REAL ME,” THE BOYZ’s “[PHANTASY] Pt. 3 Love Letter” at No. 4, and NCT WISH’s “WISH” were all certified platinum for selling over 250,000 copies each.
In the streaming category, KyoungSeo’s “Shiny Star (2020)” was certified double platinum after surpassing 200 million streams.
Finally, IVE’s “Kitsch,” Red Velvet’s “Feel My Rhythm,” and Parc Jae Jung’s “Let’s Say Goodbye” were all certified platinum for reaching 100 million streams each.
Congratulations to all of the artists!
