The group TWICE's "Strategy" has sold more than 1 million units in the United States and became the first K-pop girl group to receive platinum certification from the local Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
RIAA released on the official website on the 26th that TWICE's mini 14th album track "Strategy," released on Dec. 6, 2024, received official platinum certification. With this, TWICE, following RIAA gold certifications for "The Feels" and "I CAN'T STOP ME," achieved their first platinum with "Strategy" and shone as the artist holding the highest certification among K-pop girl groups.
RIAA grants qualifications based on single and album sales in the United States, classifying them as gold (500,000 or more), platinum (1 million or more), multi-platinum (2 million or more) and diamond (10 million or more).
In particular, "Strategy" was included on the original soundtrack that drove the success of Netflix's "K-pop Demon Hunters," drew explosive reactions and succeeded in entering Billboard's main chart the Hot 100 for 17 weeks. Riding that momentum, it built its RIAA platinum record before a year had passed since its release and reaffirmed its global popularity.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, TWICE is making unlimited contributions across the world stage. They are conducting their largest-ever sixth world tour "THIS IS FOR" in 74 shows across 43 regions worldwide, meeting audiences and widely asserting their presence as a "global top girl group."
