mochacapp 1,978 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I think it's 500K for RIAA (idk) If BTS achieves that, it'll be huge. Has anyone in Kpop ever achieve RIAA gold certification?

NevilleLongbottom 1,891 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 There are an estimated 87,000 US iTunes sales for MIC Drop Remix using the numbers from kworb. It has 19,116,012 US Spotify streams which equals 127,440 units. US YouTube views are 12,399,126 which is 82,660 units. (Although this number is probably off since the RIAA only counts official video views but YouTube Insights adds in views from unofficial videos) So that’s around 297,100 units from data that we can see. (I think, unless I did something wrong. I've seen people saying that they only need 120,000 more so I'm not sure what else people are adding up to get that number.) But then there are sales from places like Amazon and GooglePlay music that we can’t see. Along with numbers from Apple Music. But once you hit 500K you don’t automatically get handed a gold record. The record label has to make a request for certification and submit all the sales and streaming data to the RIAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazard125 4,484 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 A hit in the US is two weeks on the hot 100. That’s why magazines in the US also refer to DNA as a hit. This has always been the case, so, yes, Mic Drop remix is a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
