The boys of BTS have done it again. Their new album 'Map of The Soul: Persona' debuted at Number 1 on the Official UK Albums Chart. This makes them the first KPOP/ Korean act to do so. Not just KPOP but they're also the first Asian Language act to achieve this.

"The seven-member group land straight in at the top with their latest EP with 26,500 combined sales. They are the first Korean act to score a chart-topping album in the UK. 68% of the EP's Week 1 figure is from physical sales."


Congratulations BTS!
