K-pop megastars BTS' latest album, 'Arirang,' has been certified 'platinum' by the National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing in France for achieving 100,000 sales units across physical copies, downloads, and streams, according to BigHit Music. This milestone follows a 'gold' certification in France just a month prior, six days after its March release. With this latest recognition, BTS now has four albums certified platinum in France. In Japan, 'Arirang' has been certified 'triple platinum,' selling over 750,000 units as of March. The album made history as the first K-pop act to spend three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Led by the lead single 'Swim,' the 14-track album marks BTS's first release after a four-year hiatus due to mandatory military service.
