[The Fact | Reporter Kim Myung Joo] Girl group LE SSERAFIM has won the fourth consecutive “Gold” certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan for albums released in Korea.
Source Music announced on the 10th, “According to the Recording Industry Association of Japan, LE SSERAFIM’s fifth mini album (HOT) surpassed 100,000 copies shipped as of the end of last month and was certified as a ‘Gold Disk’.” Previously, UNFORGIVEN (first official album), EASY (third mini album), and CRAZY (fourth mini album) had also received the same certification – marking the achievement for the fourth time in a row.
The Recording Industry Association of Japan awards gold certification to albums with shipments exceeding 100,000 copies, platinum certification to 250,000 copies, and double platinum certification to 500,000 copies or more, based on monthly figures.
The HOT album also sold 69,291 copies on its release day in Japan, topping the Oricon daily album chart on March 15. On the Oricon weekly digital album chart (statistics from March 10 to 16), the album continued to hold the No. 1 position. Since their debut album FEARLESS, all 6 albums of LE SSERAFIM released in Korea have ranked first on the Oricon daily album chart.
HOT also made its mark in the US when it entered the Top 10 of the main Billboard 200 chart at No. 9 - making LE SSERAFIM the only 4th generation K-pop girl group to enter the Top 10 of this chart 4 consecutive times. In addition, the album also reached No. 1 on the "Top Album Sales" chart - based on the number of physical albums sold in a week in the US.
LE SSERAFIM will kick off their first world tour, 2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘EASY CRAZY HOT’, with shows in Incheon on April 19 and 20. The tour is based on their three recent albums EASY, CRAZY and HOT, with the message “Let’s live this moment with LE SSERAFIM – it’s fiery and fun”.
