BTS ‘ARIRANG’ Certified ‘Platinum’ in the Album Category by France’s SNEP—Within One Month

‘BTS,’ Dominating the French Music Market, Achieves Record-Quick ‘Platinum’ With New Album ‘ARIRANG’

The regular 5th album ‘ARIRANG’ by the group ‘BTS’ (BTS) has earned ‘Platinum’ certification for the album category from France’s ‘SNEP’, proving its unparalleled global status once again. According to a statement from BigHit Music on the 28th, this achievement is the result of totaling album physical sales, downloads, and streaming figures—recording cumulative sales of over 100,000 copies.

As a result, ‘BTS’ has secured its fourth overall ‘Platinum’ title in France for group album standards, following ‘Map of the Soul: 7’, ‘Proof’, and ‘Love Yourself: 結 Answer’.

A Phenomenal Surge: Dominant Impact Compressed From 1 Year 2 Months to Just 1 Month

The most noteworthy point is the speed of certification. After ‘ARIRANG’ earned ‘Gold’ certification just 6 days after release, it claimed the ‘Platinum’ milestone in about a month. Considering that past albums typically took an average of 1 year and 2 months to reach the same certification level, it suggests that ‘BTS’’s influence in the French market has expanded exponentially.

Global box-office momentum is proving strong not only in Europe, but also in Japan.

In addition, the Japanese regular 3rd album track ‘Let Go’, released in 2018, also exceeded 100 million cumulative streams, adding another ‘Platinum’ certification to the streaming category.

Meanwhile, ‘BTS’ opened the North American leg of its tour with a kickoff performance at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, USA, on the 25th (local time). They are set to enter El Paso Sun Bowl Stadium from May 2 to 3 and continue delivering a powerful connection with fans worldwide.
