BTS has just received major news that has fans buzzing with excitement! Their hit single “Dynamite” from 2020 was recently awarded a historic certification in the United States, marking a milestone for both K-pop music and the group in the country. That’s how BTS proves they are still leveling up their music game despite being in the military!

So here’s the scoop: The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced that “Dynamite” has officially been certified quintuple platinum status, which means it has sold five million units in the United States. With this, BTS gets yet another record as the first song by a South Korean group to be certified five times platinum. It’s also the second song by a South Korean act to do so, following the global phenomenon, “Gangnam Style” by PSY.

“Dynamite” marks BTS’ definitive jump into the United States, and it’s their most successful full-English song so far. It was released in 2020 and takes inspiration from the disco genre, which was widely used that year not only by the group but also by other artists such as The Weeknd and Dua Lipa.
