All seven members of BTS have finally completed their mandatory military service in the South Korean army and are now free to focus on music again. Over the past several years, each member of the boy band has stepped away from the spotlight at different times, allowing some to focus on solo musical careers while others served. As BTS prepares for a long-awaited musical reunion – which could happen at some point in 2025 – several of the group's tracks have recently earned new certifications in the United States, adding to the band's already impressive catalog of hits.
Seven BTS Songs Earn Their First RIAA Certifications
Seven BTS tracks have been certified by the RIAA for the first time. Five of them — "Black Swan," "Permission to Dance," "Spring Day," "Save Me," and "On" — have been named gold songs, which means they have moved 500,000 equivalent units in the U.S. through a combination of sales and streaming activity.
At the same time, both "Blood Sweat & Tears" and "Run" were simultaneously certified gold and platinum, meaning each has moved at least one million equivalent units in America.
BTS Upgrades Two Past Gold Hits
Two fan-favorite tracks, "DNA" and "Fake Love," were originally certified gold back in 2018. Now, both have reached platinum status, as each has shifted a total of another half-million equivalent units throughout the past seven years.
BTS's Growing List of Certified Hits
To date, 17 BTS songs have been certified by the RIAA at one level or another. Seven have been certified gold, while eight have reached the platinum tier. "Butter" stands out as a double platinum smash, while "Dynamite" is easily the group's biggest success so far. That single has moved more than five million equivalent units in the U.S., making it a quintuple platinum behemoth.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce make red carpet debut
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have made their red carpet debut as a couple. The music superstar and Kansas City Chiefs tight-end walked hand-in-hand into the opening night of Tight End University in Nashville, a summer camp Kelce helped found in 2021. A video posted by the organisation on Instagram captured the couple arriving together, drawing attention from both attendees and fans online. According to the programme's website, it was set up in 2021 to 'bring the Tight End community together for an immersive three-day program'. 'Attendees are able to bond, collaborate with, and learn amongst their peers while participating in a variety of activities including film study, on-field drills, recovery, rehabilitation, and more,' the website said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tight End University - TEU (@te_university) It comes weeks after Swift announced that she has acquired the rights to all of her music. The 35-year-old purchased the rights to all of her concert films, music videos, album art and photography, as well as unreleased songs, in an announcement on her website. She also confirmed she will release Taylor's Version re-recordings of her self-titled and Reputation albums. In the announcement, the singer said: 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news.' Swift and Kelce have been a sports-and-entertainment power couple since going public with their relationship in September 2023, when the four-time All-Pro tight end invited the now-14-time Grammy Award winner to watch him play in a match-up with the Chicago Bears. Before they began dating, Kelce tried to deliver a friendship bracelet to Swift when she brought her Eras Tour show to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, only to be thwarted. Swift was part of the on-field celebration on a cold night in Baltimore when the Chiefs beat the Ravens to win the 2024 AFC championship. In February 2025, she supported Kelce during the Chiefs' Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
