group BTS has taken over United States of America and the UK charts. It is BTS, which is a leading artist in the World music market beyond just a singer representing K-pop.
The official Billboards SNS on the 16th (Korea time) said BTS' new mini album 'MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA' will be at No. 1 on the Billboards 200 chart. This is the third milestone after 'LOVE YOURSELF Tear' and 'LOVE YOURSELF Answer' announced last year. According to Billboards, the charts that reflect the top of BTS will be released on the 21st.
In addition, the UK official chart also booked the top spot. "BTS will be the highest ranking Korean singer in the UK," the official chart said.
BTS, which returned to its new mini album 'MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA' on the 12th, was also different from the beginning of the activity. The album has exceeded 3 million pre-orders and has surpassed 1.47 million on the first day of release. At 6 pm on the day of the release of the album, Melon was paralyzed by a lot of users. It was the BTS effect. The title song "Poetry for Small Things" (Boy With Luv) music video broke the 100 million view at 7:37 am on the 14th, 37 hours and 37 minutes after its release, setting the World shortest record.
BTS also first unveiled "Poetry for Small Things" on the United States of America NBC's popular entertainment program "Saturday Night Live" (hereinafter referred to as "SNL"). It appeared as an introduction to Hollywood actor Emma Stone and showed stable live to 'MIC Drop' stage. To watch BTS, the Ami (BTS fan club) of United States of America also has a long-distance homelessness in front of the station for nearly a week.
As BTS has been reborn as a World star, domestic fans have now come to the joke that they are waiting for their 'inland'. But since it's BTS, which is accompanied by fans, this expression is just a happy complaint (?). 'Poetry for Small Things' also contains a message of gratitude for the amis who sent a hot support, adding to the meaning of "walking together" more than ever. This is why the World redefeat of BTS is shining even more.
