Baby Monster achieved two separate Circle certifications for their first mini-album “BABYMONS7ER.
The regular version of the mini-album received a platinum certification for over 250,000 copies sold, while the Nemo version received a double platinum certification for more than 500,000 copies sold.
The tracks on this mini-album include “MONSTERS,” “SHEESH,” “LIKE THAT,” “Stuck In The Middle,” “BATTER UP,” “DREAM,” and “Stuck in the Middle (remix).”

Starting with songs released on or after January 1, 2018, Circle Chart now certifies albums as platinum once they reach 250,000 copies sold, while albums that sell over one million copies will receive a “million” certification.
