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, Stray Kids earned an official quadruple million certification for their latest mini album “ROCK-STAR,” which has now sold over 4 million copies since its release in November 2023.
Meanwhile, NCT 127 went triple platinum with their winter single album “Be There For Me,” which has sold over 750,000 copies since its release in December.
BTS’s Jungkook also received a double platinum certification for the Weverse version of his solo debut album “GOLDEN” (for over 500,000 copies sold). The regular version of “GOLDEN” previously earned a double million certification last month.
Over in the streaming category, Charlie Puth’s 2022 song “That’s Hilarious” was certified platinum after surpassing 100 million streams.
Congratulations to all of the artists!
