BTS now has three records certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America after “Fake Love” became the third single to win the achievement.

The RIAA announced Tuesday that the K-pop group’s single “Fake Love” had earned the gold certification, adding to the group’s long list of achievements.

The success of “Fake Love” in terms of digital sales follows that of its two other singles “MIC Drop” and “DNA,” which were certified gold in February.

The RIAA gives the gold certification to records that have sold 500,000 copies, and the platinum certification for 1 million copies sold.

When the association counts digital sales, both audio and video streaming are included on top of digital downloads.

“Fake Love” is the lead track from the band’s album “Love Yourself: Tear,” which entered the top 10 on Billboard’s albums chart.
