“You Never Know,” from the album titled “The Album,” reached the milestone on the platform on Monday, the last of the eight songs from the LP to achieve the feat, according to label YG Entertainment.

The LP came out in June 2020 and sold over 1 million physical copies in preorders. It debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and stayed on the chart for 18 consecutive weeks.
