According to an article on the latest chart released by the Billboards website on the 3rd (local time), their regular 3rd album, "Love Yourself Former Tea" (LOVE YOURSELF Tea), which ranked first in the "Billboards 200" last week, dropped to sixth place this week.
The first place was won by Canadian singer-songwriter Sean Sam Mendes, 20, who released his third full-length album, "Sean Sam Mendes" (Shawn Mendes), released on the 25th of last month. Sean Sam Mendes has topped his third "Billboards 200" summit so far, following his 2015 regular first album "Handwritten" (in 2016) and his 2016 regular second album "Illuminate".
In particular, Sean Sam Mendes said in an interview with the 2018 Billboards Music Awards red carpet event in United States of America last month that he was "a thousand percent" when asked if he was planning to collaborate with BTS and Cullabary.
'Billboards 200' is the most popular album in United States of America based on album sales, track sales, and streaming performance.
Previously, BTS became the World's hot topic by entering the top of the Billboards 200 last week and the top 10 of the main single chart 'Hot 100' last week. The Korean singer's simultaneous entry into the two charts was the first time BTS broke its own record in September last year.
Among them, "Billboards 200" continued to show a steady rise in popularity by entering seven albums (including Japanese albums) into this third album.
As a result, this week was the point of observation whether BTS would be on the top of the Billboards 200 for two consecutive weeks or the rankings would rise in the Hot 100. The Billboards preview about 'Hot 100' is likely to come out early on the 6th day of Korea time when the latest chart is officially updated.
