Congratulations once again to BTS 💜
“As the best-selling album across all consumption formats,” BTS’s MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 album has been announced the winner of IFPI’s Global Album All Format Chart of 2020, followed by BE charting at #4.
BTS is the first Korean act to ever be at No. 1 on IFPI's list of best-selling albums of the year!
“After its February 2020 release, the fourth studio album from the K-pop superstars topped the charts in the group’s home country of Korea, where the album broke the all-time sales record, as well as the world’s five largest music markets (USA, Japan, UK, Germany, France).”
