WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - DECEMBER 07: (L-R) V, SUGA, Jin, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, and Jungkook of BTS ... [+]
As so many top-tier musicians rely heavily on streams to help push their new albums toward the top of the Billboard charts, BTS, one of the most successful groups on the planet right now, stands as one of the only names left in the business who can reliably sell copies of not just their latest releases, but also older crowd favorites.
This week, the band dominates the Top Album Sales chart, which only looks at the 100 titles that actually sold the most copies (as opposed to the more closely watched Billboard 200, which incorporates streaming and track sale equivalents as well as pure purchases). The group claims six rungs on the all-genre tally, which is the most of any name. In fact, BTS is far ahead of every other artist and band on the ranking, including some of the most successful figures of all time.
Coming in behind BTS when looking at which musical acts own the most real estate on this week’s Top Album Sales chart are The Beatles, who usually rank among the bestselling artists every week. This frame, the Fab Four control three spots on the roster, or exactly half as many as BTS.
Several other prominent musicians, such as Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, Mac Miller and even Pink Floyd all manage to chart two titles on the 100-rung list, which is only one-third as many spaces as BTS currently controls.
Leading the way among all six of BTS’s currently-charting albums on the Top Album Sales ranking is, surprisingly, not their latest release, which came out almost two weeks ago. Instead, their full-length Map of the Soul: 7, released this past February, continues to find space inside the top 10. The set holds at No. 8 and stands out as the second-highest-charting non-debut of the week, coming in behind only the original Broadway cast recording of Hamilton.
New at No. 23 is Map of the Soul: 7 ~ The Journey ~, their fourth Japanese-language release. The set starts off just outside the top 20 after only two days of availability, so it may climb next frame. The title sold just over 3,500 copies, according to Nielsen Music, which is still a lot in today’s all-streaming economy.
Just a few spots below that title comes the first release in the Map of the Soul series, 2019’s Map of the Soul: Persona, which drops just one spot to No. 28. The group manages to place a fourth release inside the top 40 this frame, as Love Yourself: Answer rockets from No. 63 all the way to No. 32.
Further down the list come both Love Yourself: Tear and Love Yourself: Her, which land at Nos. 68 and 80, respectively. Both of those sets return to the Top Album Sales chart, having fallen off not too long ago.
