NewJeans And TWICE Earn Platinum And Gold Certifications For Streaming In Japan

Jul 6, 2024

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 past month, NewJeans earned two separate RIAJ platinum certifications for streaming. Two of their hits from their 2023 Korean mini album “Get Up”—their pre-release single “Super Shy” and their title track “ETA”—were certified platinum after surpassing 100 million streams each.
