That means the track recorded more than 500,000 units!
The award includes downloads and on-demand music streams with 150 on-demand audio and/or video song streams counted as the equivalence of one download sale (unit).
And they did it all within a short period of 3 months.
In less than three months 🙏🏼#micdropremix @lifeofdesiigner @BTS_twt pic.twitter.com/XjTXM5cbTc

BTS is the first K-Pop group to achieve this feat with PSY being the first Korean artist to do so with “Gangnam Style” in 2012.
Rapper Desiigner dropped the news with a photo of their new gold disc.
Needless to say, A.R.M.Ys around the world were beyond ecstatic for the group’s new mark in history!
