BTS‘s Jungkook has scored another big achievement in Japan!
On September 27th, the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) announced that Jungkook‘s solo single “Seven (feat. Latto) – Explicit Ver.” has surpassed 100 million streams, earning it a “Platinum” certification in the streaming category.
This new certification comes after the “Clean Ver.” of “Seven” received Platinum status in January, making it the second Platinum record for this hit song.
Now, Jungkook has a total of three Platinum certifications for streaming: “Seven (feat. Latto) – Explicit Ver.,” “Clean Ver.,” and his solo track “Euphoria,” from BTS’s repackaged album LOVE YOURSELF 結 ‘Answer’.
The RIAJ awards certifications based on the total streams of a song, with levels such as Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million streams, and Diamond for 500 million streams, issuing certifications monthly.
Additionally, BTS‘s vocal line (Jin, Jimin, V, and Jungkook) received Gold certifications for their unit song “Dimple,” also from LOVE YOURSELF 結 ‘Answer’, and for “Dionysus” from the mini-album MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA. With these achievements, BTS now holds 44 Gold certifications, setting the record as the foreign artist with the most such titles.
