Big Bang proved that they're still hit-makers domestically with their
latest album <Alive>, and apparently this has proven overseas as well.
<Alive> sold over 250,000 copies in Korea, while it's already at
double platinum status in Taiwan. Over in Japan, <Alive> has been
certified as a Gold record by the Recording Industry Association of
Japan (RIAJ).
To go gold, an artist needs to sell over 100,000 copies. Platinum
requires a salve of 250,000 copies or more, double platinum is 500,000
copies, and million is 1 million copies.
The group has already wrapped up their promotions in Korea, and are
focusing on their World Tour which includes 13 shows in Japan for an
expected 150,000 Japanese fans.
