Group BTS has achieved another remarkable milestone by earning their 10th ‘Gold’ certification from the Syndicat National de l’Édition Phonographique (SNEP) in France.
According to Big Hit Music on the 26th, SNEP’s official website revealed that ‘SWIM’, the title track of BTS’s 5th full-length album ‘ARIRANG’ released last March, secured the ‘Gold Certification’ in the singles category as of August 20th.
The SNEP Gold certification is awarded to tracks that accumulate the equivalent of 15 million streams, calculated through a combination of streaming, downloads, and physical album sales. BTS achieved this impressive feat about five months after the song’s release, further proving their enduring global influence.
Notably, this marks BTS’s 10th SNEP Gold certification overall. They previously earned Gold certifications for hit tracks such as ‘Dynamite’, ‘Butter’, ‘Boy With Luv (Feat. Halsey)’, and ‘FAKE LOVE’.
Meanwhile, BTS’s album ‘ARIRANG’ continues to enjoy long-term success, maintaining its spot on various global charts for five months. According to the latest Billboard chart released for August 29th, ‘ARIRANG’ ranked 24th on the ‘Billboard 200’.
