Billboard, the album takes #7 on this week’s chart.<\/a> The Billboard 200 ranks albums based on the sum of pure US album sales, US track sales\/10 and US track streams\/1500.<\/p>\nThe album, it should be noted, was only available via digital channels this week.<\/p>\n
The #7 debut is the highest Billboard 200 position ever achieved by a K-pop act. BTS actually held the previous record; its “Wings” went as high as #26 on the chart.<\/p>\n
“Love Yourself: Her” and “Wings” are the only K-pop albums to reach the chart’s Top 40.<\/p>\n
Foo Fighters’ “Concrete And Gold” tops this week’s Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
— “DNA” was the top-performing track from the BTS album. It rocketed into the Top 5 on the US iTunes store shortly after its release. It meanwhile ranked as US Spotify’s #82 song for the September 15-21 tracking period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Love Yourself: Her” scores the highest debut position for a K-Pop album.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[8321,9742],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
