BTS added another major international achievement with “ARIRANG,” after the album received platinum certification in France. The milestone was confirmed by SNEP, France’s music certification body. The news comes after the KPop juggernauts passed 100,000 equivalent sales with their latest project. That total includes physical sales, downloads, and streaming numbers, showing that the album performed strongly across several formats in the European country.

The milestone makes “ARIRANG” by BTS the fourth group album to go platinum in France. The boy band previously reached the same level of success with “Map of the Soul: 7,” “Proof,” and “Love Yourself: Answer.” In addition, the certification came quite quickly, with “ARIRANG” reaching platinum status just over a month after its release. The album had already been certified gold within six days, proving BTS’ strong presence in the French market.
BTS also continued to grow their record in Japan. In March 2026, the boy group’s 2018 song “Let Go,” from the Japanese album “Face Yourself,” passed 100 million streams and earned platinum certification in the streaming category. With that result, BTS reached 17 platinum certifications in Japan, the highest total among KPop acts. Additionally, “ARIRGAN” also passed 750,000 shipments in Japan within 11 days, reaching the triple platinum status in the country.
Currently, the group is supporting the album with the “ARIRANG” world tour, which will have 85 shows across 34 cities. The North American leg of their tour officially began on April 25, 2026, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. The 7-member team is scheduled to continue their run through Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Finally, the tour is being described as the largest ever by a Korean artist.
