SNSD is certified double platinum in Japan
The ladies of SNSD are enjoying a tremendous amount of success in Japan.
They recently placed second behind AKB48 on the June Oricon Monthly Album sales chart with a sales figure of 411,972 units for their first full length Japanese album, “GIRLS’ GENERATION” and now there’s even more news to celebrate.
The RIAJ (Recording Industry Association of Japan) recently updated their website showing the girls achieve the monumental feat of being certified double platinum for “GIRLS’ GENERATION“.
The RIAJ classifies Platinum as 250,000 sales units so double platinum would mean that the girls exceeded a whopping 500,000 sales! If you can recall, SNSD’s Chaku Uta Full (ringtones) downloads for ‘Gee’ also went Double Platinum back in April.
Oricon recently reported that SNSD had achieved 2.6 billion yen (around $32 million USD) in total Japanese sales for the first half of 2011, so the girls are surely doing big things in Japan.

Yahoo! Japan, known as the largest internet portal in the country, recently announced the results for their "First Half of 2011 Search Ranking". The interesting outcome has sparked the interest of many both due to the emergence of rising stars and the presence of familiar names.
