BTS has set a new milestone in the French music market.
According to the SNEP on April 27, BTS’ fifth full-length album ‘ARIRANG’ has been awarded a Platinum certification in the album category.
This marks BTS’ fourth Platinum-certified album in France, following ‘MAP OF THE SOUL: 7,’ ‘Proof,’ and ‘LOVE YOURSELF: ANSWER.’
‘ARIRANG’ reached Gold status just six days after its release and achieved Platinum in approximately one month.
This outpaces previous releases such as ‘MAP OF THE SOUL: 7’ and ‘Proof,’ which each took over a year to reach Gold status
The certification is granted to albums that achieve the equivalent of 100,000 units in combined physical sales, downloads, and streaming.
Meanwhile, BTS kicked off their “BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN NORTH AMERICA” on April 25 (local time) at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. The tour will span 12 cities, including Mexico City, Las Vegas, and Chicago, with a total of 31 shows planned.
