NewJeans 2023 Singles Earn Platinum Certifications
The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) recently announced its latest batch of official certifications. In 2020, the RIAJ introduced a new certification system for online streaming of songs, adding to its existing systems for physical album shipments and digital download sales. Under this system, songs are certified silver once they reach 30 million streams, gold at 50 million streams, and platinum at 100 million streams.
This past month, NewJeans earned two separate RIAJ platinum certifications for streaming. Their pre-release single “Super Shy” and their title track “ETA” from their 2023 Korean mini album “Get Up” both achieved platinum status after surpassing 100 million streams each. This achievement underscores the widespread appeal and strong fanbase of NewJeans in Japan.
“Super Shy” was released on July 7, 2023, while “ETA” followed on July 21 of the same year. Both songs are featured on NewJeans’ second EP ‘Get Up,’ which was also released on July 21, 2023. The tracks have quickly gained traction, resonating with audiences and solidifying the group’s presence in the competitive music landscape.
The platinum certifications not only highlight the commercial success of “Super Shy” and “ETA” but also reflect NewJeans’ ability to connect with listeners across different regions. Their music, characterized by catchy melodies and engaging performances, also continues to captivate fans globally.
For NewJeans, this achievement is also a significant milestone, showcasing their rapid rise in the music industry. The group’s dedication to their craft and their ability to produce hit songs have also earned them recognition and acclaim. As they continue to grow their discography and fanbase, fans can also look forward to more exciting releases and achievements from NewJeans.
These platinum certifications are also a promising indicator of the group’s future potential and their capacity to influence the global music scene. Congratulations to NewJeans on their remarkable accomplishment!
