TWICE has earned new certifications from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). According to Soompi's reporting, the group received both Triple and Double Platinum certifications for streaming this month. The RIAJ introduced its streaming certification system in 2020 to track digital success alongside traditional physical album sales and download metrics.
Streaming certifications measure play counts rather than sales. TWICE's numbers have reached levels that reflect the group's consistent popularity on Japanese streaming platforms.
These certifications add to TWICE's track record in Japan. The group has generated significant commercial success with each release, with their Japanese fanbase driving music to chart-topping positions quickly after launch.
The RIAJ certifications carry weight because Japan's music industry has traditionally prioritized domestic artists. Multiple platinum certifications earned by a Korean group in a single month indicates substantial crossover appeal and streaming volume.
TWICE's fandom has celebrated the news on social media. For a group that has already accumulated numerous records and accolades, these additional platinum certifications confirm their sustained position in the global pop market.
