According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Jimin received a ‘Platinum’ certification with the title track ‘Like Crazy’ from his first solo album ‘FACE’ on the 1st (local time).
The RIAA awards certifications based on digital single and album sales by dividing them into Gold (500,000 units or more), Platinum (1 million units or more), Multi-Platinum (2 million units or more), and Diamond (10 million units or more).
The unit calculation is done by considering album sales (physical/digital), digital downloads, audio and video streaming, etc.
‘Like Crazy’ is a synth pop genre song. Jimin’s sad tone contrasts with the strong synth and drum sounds. His sweet voice is very impressive.

The title track ‘Like Crazy’ was also very popular. Upon its release, it ranked first on the iTunes ‘Top Songs’ chart in 111 countries/regions around the world. This shows its unparalleled popularity.
