BTS Land First Gold Certified Single in the US with ‘Mic Drop’
Another day, another slay...
There is no question that BTS are easily the biggest boyband in the world today. Not only are they one of South Korea's mos successful acts ever but they have also started to amass a huge following in the US, UK and around the globe. BTS mania is real.
With that in mind, it's no surprise that 'Mic Drop' has just become the record-breaking group's first Gold single in the US.

YES. IT'S OFFICIAL. IT'S ONLY FEBRUARY AND THE BTS BOYS ARE ALREADY BREAKING RECORDS IN 2018.
BTS released in September last year, before dropping an epic Steve Aoki remix of it featuring Desiigner along with a music video just three months later. The single peaked at Number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 and now it's sold over 500,000 US copies.
Considering that the band are only just starting to gain a US profile, this is huge and will no doubt be the first of many.
That's not all though. In 'Mic Drop' becoming BTS' first Gold single in the US, the boys have just broken another massive record in music history. Drum roll please. 'Mic Drop' is officially the first single by a Korean group to ever be certified Gold in the US.
It also only the second Korean single of all time to ever receive an RIAA certification.
It's only contemporary is PSY's multi-platinum 2012 viral sensation 'Gagnum Style'.
With new music due this year, we imagine that BTS are only just getting started.
We can't wait to see what they do next and what other records they will break.
