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, BIGBANG earned an official platinum certification for their iconic hit “FANTASTIC BABY” after it surpassed 100 million streams in Japan.

Meanwhile, i-dle [(G)I-DLE]’s “Nxde,” BABYMONSTER’s “DRIP,” and the Korean version of iKON’s “LOVE SCENARIO” were all certified gold for reaching 50 millions streams each in Japan.

Congratulations to BIGBANG, i-dle, BABYMONSTER, and iKON!
