Circle Chart announced its latest batch of official certifications on October 20, 2026. Stray Kids' mini album "THIS & THAT" received a triple million certification, while ATEEZ, ENHYPEN, NCT 127, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, CORTIS and NEXZ also earned million or platinum-tier awards for their albums. [1]

Who earned which certification

Stray Kids' regular edition of "THIS & THAT" passed 3 million copies, earning triple million. Its FANS version reached platinum for over 250,000 copies. ENHYPEN's "THE SIN : BLISS" earned a million certification for the regular version, with the Weverse version certified platinum. ATEEZ's "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5" also received a million certification. ALPHA DRIVE ONE's "UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST" and NCT 127's "BLINGY" were each certified triple platinum for over 750,000 copies. The Weverse version of CORTIS's debut EP "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" reached double platinum, over 500,000 copies, and NEXZ's "SAUCIN'" earned platinum. In the streaming category, 10CM's "To Reach You" received platinum for passing 100 million streams. [1]

How the certification tiers work

Korea's music industry association introduced the certification system in 2018 for album sales, downloads and streaming, applying to music released from January 1, 2018 onward. Circle Chart awards platinum at 250,000 album sales, and a million certification once an album has sold a million copies or more. Each certification is tied to an album or song, not to individual members. [1]

Stray Kids' album on the charts

The certification arrives as "THIS & THAT" continues to chart abroad. It returned to No. 1 on Billboard's World Albums chart for the week ending October 17, its seventh non-consecutive week on top, and climbed to No. 29 on the Billboard 200 in its ninth consecutive week. Earlier Omni Topic KWave coverage noted the album's return to No. 1 on World Albums. [2][3][4]

ATEEZ and ENHYPEN's recent activity

ATEEZ's "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5," released in June, earned the group its third No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The group plans to release its 15th EP, "GOLDEN HOUR: Part.6," on November 13 and has announced the 2027 world tour "ZERO TO ALL," opening in Incheon on January 22-24. ENHYPEN's "THE SIN : BLISS" is their eighth EP, and the group is in the middle of its "Blood Saga" tour, which visits 22 cities through March. [5][6]

What comes next

Several of the certified acts appear in upcoming November events. The 2026 MAMA Awards run November 20-21 at Kyocera Dome Osaka, with Stray Kids, ENHYPEN and ATEEZ among the acts named in album or artist nominations. Albums must have sold at least 1 million copies to qualify for MAMA's album of the year, which makes million-level certifications relevant to that race. The Melon Music Awards follow on November 14 and 15 at Gocheok Sky Dome. [7][8]
