The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) has announced its latest batch of official certifications!
According to the RIAJ’s certification thresholds, albums are certified gold at 100,000 units shipped and platinum at 250,000. After 1 million shipped units, albums are officially given million certifications.

Also earning their first-ever RIAJ album certification is LE SSERAFIM! The group’s debut Japanese single album “FEARLESS” has officially earned a platinum certification with over 250,000 units sold across Japan.
A platinum certification was also given to TXT’s latest release “The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION” for selling over 250,000 copies. While this marks TXT’s third overall album to reach this milestone, “The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION” is now TXT’s first Korean album to go platinum in Japan.
