While ‘Gee’ Chaka Uta (Japan) already went double platinum a few months back. As of July 8th, SNSD’s first full Japanese album ‘Girls’ Generation‘ has also been certified double platinum by the RIAJ! (Recording Industry Association of Japan)
Within the first 2 weeks of the album’s release on the 1st of June, ‘Girls’ Generation’ had already been certified platinum by the RIAJ moving more than 250,000 units. Now, SNSD has reached another milestone with the album being certified double platinum for selling over 500,000 copies!
With the girls working so hard in Japan, it’s simply heart warming to see them get acknowledged for their efforts.

SNSD rules! Congratulations!
Nice and on my birthday too ^^
Minor correction, the physical Gee Japanese single is not certified Double Platinum, in fact it’s not even Platinum yet. It was the Gee Chaku Uta (ringtone) download that went Double Platinum.
RIAJ and Oricon may account sales differently because Oricon is showing ~450k copies sold so far, RIAJ maybe based on shipment numbers instead of sales, not sure how they arrived at different numbers. But nevertheless, congratulations to the girls, to be able to reach Double Platinum in their debut album is a monumental achievement!
Oops! My mistake 😛 Its been corrected, thanks for the heads up.
and yea, RIAJ and Oricon use different numbers when calculating sales. If i’m not mistaken, RIAJ does base their chart on shipment numbers. 😀 However it’s still an amazing achievement as shipping numbers are often not far from actual sale figures.
they deserve it !!! ^^
yay congrats to the girls! keep it going!
