RIAJ Certifications: Latest Music Streaming Achievements in Japan
The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) has recently revealed its latest official certifications for music streaming. In 2020, RIAJ introduced a new certification system for online streaming of songs, in addition to its existing systems for physical album shipments and digital download sales. Under the new system, songs are certified silver at 30 million streams, gold at 50 million streams, and platinum at 100 million streams. This month, aespa's "Savage" received a platinum certification for surpassing 100 million streams in Japan.
SEVENTEEN also achieved two gold certifications for their Korean tracks "God of Music" and "HOME;RUN," each reaching 50 million streams in Japan. Additionally, songs like BLACKPINK's "PLAYING WITH FIRE" (Korean version), Jennie's "like JENNIE," BABYMONSTER's "SHEESH," NewJeans' "Bubble Gum," TWS's "plot twist," and BTS's collaboration with Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo on "Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat) [BTS Remix]" were all certified gold for exceeding 50 million streams in Japan.
