The news that BTS received a Gold certification in the singles category in France is truly amazing.
Hearing that they set their 10th overall record by earning Gold certification with the title track 'Swim' from their 5th studio album 'Arirang', I can feel the global popularity they have built up over the years once again.
The French Recording Industry Association awards Gold certification to songs that exceed certain criteria based on streaming, downloads, and physical album sales, and it is said that this song has also achieved over 15 million streams.
It is particularly noteworthy that this record was set just five months after release.
Considering that this is the second fastest pace following 'Dynamite' receiving Gold certification in about three months, it really seems like a steady streak of records.
The album 'Arirang' also received Gold certification just six days after its release, and then went on to get Platinum certification in about a month, so it seems the reaction in France was quite significant.
I can feel that BTS's local influence is continuously growing, given that the time it takes to get certified has become much faster compared to previous albums.
I think it is even more meaningful that they are not stopping at the popularity of one or two songs, but are consistently setting records with every new release.
A 10th career French Singles Gold certification—just looking at the number itself is truly amazing, and I look forward to seeing what other records he will set in the future.
