BTS just proved its worldwide dominance in the music scene when it received its second platinum album record from the RIAA or the Recording Industry Association of America. The said organization announced the South Korean boy band’s latest achievement on Nov. 17.

Allkpop reported that BTS received both platinum album certifications in this year alone. The band got recognition for its fourth album called “MAP OF THE SOUL: 7.”

It was added that BTS digital singles that include "IDOL," "Boy With Luv," and “MIC Drop" also attained the platinum record certification in the digital single category. As certified world stars, the band was able to bag the highest record that a Korean artist can get in the field of music in the United States.
