In a remarkable feat, BTS, the globally renowned K-pop sensation, has once again etched their name in the annals of music history. After almost six years since its initial release, BTS’s iconic album “Love Yourself: Tear” has resurged to the forefront, claiming the top position on Billboard’s Vinyl Albums chart. This achievement marks BTS as the first Asian artist ever to dominate the vinyl charts with more than one album.
Re-entry on Billboard 200
Following its recent release on vinyl, “Love Yourself: Tear” has not only re-entered the Billboard 200 Albums chart but has done so with vigor, debuting at a remarkable position of No. 92. This resurgence marks a significant milestone for BTS, as it signifies their return to the Billboard 200 after a hiatus of over five years.
Triumph on Vinyl Albums Chart
Simultaneously, BTS’s domination extended to the Vinyl Albums chart, where “Love Yourself: Tear” secured the coveted No. 1 position. This accomplishment not only solidifies BTS’s position as a global music powerhouse but also sets a groundbreaking precedent as the first Asian artist to top the vinyl charts with more than one album. Last year, BTS’s maiden vinyl release, “Love Yourself: Her,” also ascended to the summit of the chart, further underlining their unparalleled success.
Continuation of Success
Beyond their album’s triumph, BTS’s impact reverberated through Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart, as their title track, “Fake Love,” re-entered at No. 1. This remarkable achievement marks the song’s 71st overall week on the chart, further attesting to BTS’s enduring popularity and global influence.
Conclusion
In retrospect, “Love Yourself: Tear” made history upon its initial release in 2018 by becoming the first K-pop album to top the Billboard 200.
