BTS has added new streaming certifications from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
According to the association on the 30th, BTS's anthology album 'Proof' title track 'Yet To Come' and their third studio album 'LOVE YOURSELF 轉 'Tear'' track 'Love Maze' have surpassed 100 million and 50 million streams respectively as of December 2025, earning 'Platinum' and 'Gold' certifications.
The Recording Industry Association of Japan awards certifications based on cumulative streams: Gold (over 50 million), Platinum (over 100 million), and Diamond (over 500 million). BTS holds a total of 16 'Platinum' and 48 'Gold' certifications. Notably, they achieved 'Diamond' status with 'Dynamite' and 'Butter', a first and only for a K-pop act.
'Yet To Come' reflects on BTS's musical journey while promising a brighter future. 'Love Maze' conveys a message to their global fanbase, ARMY, about not getting lost in a maze.
The rise in streams for these tracks is seen as a reflection of the global fandom's anticipation for BTS's full-group comeback. BTS is set to release their fifth studio album 'ARIRANG' on March 20 at 1 PM, marking their first full-group comeback in approximately 3 years and 9 months. The album will feature 14 tracks exploring themes of identity, longing, and deep love.
Starting April 9 at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium, BTS will embark on a massive world tour spanning 34 cities with 82 shows. All North American and European tour dates, including 41 shows, have sold out rapidly. BTS will make history as the first Korean act to hold solo concerts at venues like Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Stanford Stadium, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, and Allianz Arena in Munich.
