BTS Earns Triple Million From Gaon And 4 Artists Earn Platinum

Congratulations!

Gaon Chart has just announced its latest certifications!

In 2018, the Korea Music Content Industry Association implemented a new system for album sales, song downloads, and online streaming. Gaon Chart now certifies albums as platinum once they reach 250,000 sales, while albums that have sold a million copies or more receive a “million” certification.
