TWICE, aespa, And LE SSERAFIM Earn RIAJ Platinum And Gold Certifications For Streaming In Japan

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.
TWICE earned two different certifications for streaming this month: their 2020 Korean hit “I CAN’T STOP ME” was certified double platinum for surpassing 200 million streams in Japan alone, while their 2020 Japanese song “BETTER” was certified gold after surpassing 50 million streams.
aespa also received an official platinum certification for their 2024 Korean hit “Whiplash” after it surpassed 100 million streams in Japan.
Finally, LE SSERAFIM’s 2024 Korean B-side “Smart” was certified gold after reaching 50 million streams in Japan.
Congratulations to TWICE, aespa, and LE SSERAFIM!
