BTS continues to pave the way for international artists and make music history with 'Map of the Soul: Persona' now becoming the best selling album in pure sales in 2019.

The album was first released on April 12th of this year and debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200. Since then, it has peaked on charts worldwide and made BTS the first group since the Beatles to earn three chart-topping albums within one year (the first two albums being 'Love Yourself: Tear' and 'Love Yourself: Answer').

The innumerable successes BTS has gained worldwide for their talent and hard work has continued to pay off. There is no doubt that BTS will continue to reach new heights as they continue on their path as international musicians.

Congratulations to BTS on this achievement!
