After re-entering the chart at No. 165 this week, Love Yourself: Answer becomes the first k-pop album to spend a full year (52 non-consecutive weeks total) on the Billboard 200!

Love Yourself: Answer debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 back in August 2018. It remains one of only four k-pop albums, three of which belong to BTS, to debut at the top of the chart.

“Thanks to a surge in consumption, BTS’s 2018 release Love Yourself: Answer is back on the Billboard 200, and though it didn’t land in a particularly impressive position, it’s stamina and staying power is what’s truly impressive.

The set, which reenters the race at No. 165, has now spent 52 nonconsecutive frames on the Billboard 200, something no other K-pop release has done before.”
