South Korean supergroup BTS are well on their way to becoming a household name—if they aren’t already—thanks to their millions-strong fanbase of digital natives, called “ARMY,” who avidly consume and promote their content online. In 2019, having helped BTS top Billboard’s Social Artist chart for over two years, the ARMY propelled the group’s members—RM, J-Hope, Suga, Jung Kook, Jimin, Jin and V—to even greater success. Among the group’s latest accolades: releasing three Billboard No. 1 albums in a single year; debuting the “Boy With Luv” music video, which logged a record-setting 75 million views in its first 24 hours; and collaborating on a mobile game in which fans play the role of the group’s manager that topped the Apple App Store charts in a number of countries. —Raisa Bruner

According to the analyzed data of the first half of 2019 released by Gaon Chart recently, the results of top 100 artists' album sales showed that BTS accounted for 41.9% with a total of 3,998,455 albums. The survey showed that BTS's occupancy rate increased by 16.6% compared to that in the first half of 2018.
BTS' album "MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA" occupied No.1 on the Top 100 Albums chart when 3,499,980 copies were consumed. Additionally, the album "BTS World OST" performed and produced by BTS reached No.2 when selling out 498,455 copies after 4 days of its release.
3rd place went to the album "YOU MADE MAY DAWN" by Seventeen with 466,963 copies sold.
On the other hand, the total number of consumed albums as of Top 400 obtained 12.93 million copies - an increase of 2.45 million copies compared to the same period last year (10,477,619 copies).
The representative of Gaon Chart said, "In the first half of this year, album sales have risen by 2.4 million copies over the same period last year. Even without Wanna One, the artist who recorded album sales of about 1.5 million copies in the first half of last year, such large increase in album sales was due to the strong growth of BTS' album sales."

Tu la..sakit hati sebab sengaja tak nak BTS bertanding dalam kategori utama, sedangkan calon2 dalam kategori utama tu banyak yang MV dia kalah views dengan BTS.
Sengaja asingkan sebab diaorang tahu BTS akan sapu bersih dicalonkan, kalah western artists..
