The US Billboards released the results of the group BTS ranking first on the main album chart Billboards 200 and 10th on the single chart Hot 100.
According to the latest chart released by Billboards on the 30th (local time), BTS' new album Love Yourself Former Tear ranked first in Billboards 200 and Fake Love (FAKE LOVE) ranked 10th in Hot 100.
BTS was the first Korean singer to enter the Hot 100 and Billboards 200 at the same time in September last year.
They set another record for the Korean singer, breaking their record once again.
BTS also posted a number of albums on the Billboards 200 chart for six consecutive albums, including this album.
Previously, Hwayang Lotus Pt.2 ranked 171, Young Forever ranked 107, Wings ranked 26th, and You Never Walk Alon ranked 61st, Love Yourself Seung Heo (LOVE YOUUUUU) ranked 61st RSELF Her) was ranked 7th.
Now, attention is focused on how much BTS will be in the top spot on the Billboards 200 and how much it will go up on the Hot 100.
Especially, expectations and interest are high in what results will be produced in the Hot 100, which has not yet reached the top.
Earlier, BTS compared 'Top 10' as 'Concrete' and mentioned 'the place where the most famous songs in the world compete with the hard ranking'.
Top 10 is difficult to enter, but if you enter once, it can exist in the top spot for a long time.
That's why if Fake Love is included in the Top 10 in the Hot 100, which will be released next week, it will likely stay at the top of the list for a long time like Concrete.
The most necessary thing for BTS is local radio broadcasting.
The Hot 100 is not different from the Billboards 200 in that it adds online streaming service data to record and soundtrack sales, but Radio influence is added here.
The more people listen to music and soundtrack sales and online streaming service data, the more favorable evaluation, and how many fans are getting has a big impact on the score.
On the other hand, in the case of 'Radio influence', the specific calculation method is also disclosed in Billboards.
Music critics, expert evaluations, and radio listening rates are being discussed, but what is certain is that they receive favorable scores if they are broadcast on Radio in the United States.
That's why it is urgent to pierce Radio, which has a lot of rejection of songs in non-English languages.
Earlier, Psy's Gangnam Style was also second in the Hot 100, which was also known to be lacking in the number of Radio selections.
Meanwhile, the Billboards are set to release the June 9 chart on Friday.
Two days ago, on the 5th, Billboards is expected to pre-release the results through its own articles and columns.
Billboards said in an article on the 27th and 29th that "the first K-pop album to be ranked # 1 on the Billboards 200" and ranked # 10 on the "Fake Love" chart for the first time in the K-pop group.
