BTS Are Heading For Their First UK Number One Album With ‘Map of the Soul: Persona’

Their the band with luv after all this success.

K-pop group BTS are making history with each day that passes, it seems.

After racking up 78 million views within 24 hours on their latest single ‘Boy With Luv’ featuring Halsey, breaking the record for most YouTube views within 24 hours, the BTS boys are now heading for their first ever UK #1 album.

With over 10,000 combined chart sales, the group leads the way for the top spot this week. The group, who became the first Korean music group to present an award EVER at the GRAMMYs this year, also sold out two nights at London’s Wembley Stadium for this June.

‘Boy With Luv’ is also killing it in the charts, and could become the groups first ever top 10 single, and Halsey’s fourth. Meanwhile Lewis Capaldi’s ‘Someone You Loved’ has been knocked off the top spot by Lil Nas X’s ‘Old Town Road’.

Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook previously soared to UK success on their collab with Nicki Minaj for their single ‘Idol’, which peaked at #21 on the UK Charts. Map of the Soul: Persona’s midweek sales has already beaten the one-week sales than all of the groups previous mini-albums combined. Their EP’s and album from the ‘LOVE YOURSELF’ era peaked in the UK Top 20 album charts, including ‘LOVE YOURSELF: Tear’ peaking at number 8.

We can’t wait to see the album kill it this week, and wish the boys all the luck for their upcoming tour dates in London.
