Although few had doubt the album would make an immediate impact, the current sight on the US iTunes store is still something to behold.
BTS’ new “Map Of The Soul: 7,” which launched at 4AM ET, completely dominates the key charts.
As of 8AM ET, the full album is #1 on the all-genre album sales chart. The twenty tracks, moreover, claim the Top 20 positions on the song sales chart.
The two versions of “ON” — the BTS version and the Sia remix — claim the #1 and #2 positions on the songs chart, respectively. “My Time” follows at #3, ahead of “Louder Than bombs” (#4), and “Filter” (#5).
“UGH!” (#6), “We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal” (#7), “00:00 (Zero O’Clock)” (#8), “Friends” (#9), and “Interlude: Shadow” (#10) complete the Top 10.
New “MOTS: 7” tracks follow in the #11-14 positions, while the included “Map Of The Soul: Persona” songs occupy #15-19. “Black Swan,” a recently released instant gratification track from the new album, is #20.
