ATEEZ’s ‘NOT OKAY’ Earns Platinum Certification From RIAJ

ATEEZ is making a big impact on the international music charts!

ATEEZ has been awarded platinum certification by the Japan Record Association (as of February) for their 3rd Japanese single album NOT OKAY, with total sales surpassing 250,000 copies.

The Recording Industry Association of Japan hands out certifications like Gold (over 100,000 copies), Platinum (over 250,000 copies), and Double Platinum (over 500,000 copies) monthly based on the total album sales.

It was a major milestone for them as NOT OKAY flew off the shelves with 178,135 copies sold on the release day. That’s over 8 times more than their previous work, the 2nd Japanese single Limitless. 

Plus, NOT OKAY took over the charts. It snagged the top spot on Japan’s Oricon daily single ranking, Tower Records’ daily sales chart, and Rakuten Music’s real-time chart.

Their impact went beyond Japan, with the title track NOT OKAY hitting the number one spot on the iTunes Top Songs chart in eight countries. Additionally, the music video soared to the top of YouTube’s trending list worldwide.

Also, ATEEZ is set to perform at KCON HONG KONG 2024, happening at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong on March 31.
