BTS Makes History Topping The IFPI Global Album Sales Chart
With not one, but TWO albums!
Koreaboo
BTS is the first act in history to have two albums hold the top 2 spots on IFPI‘s Global Album Sales chart in the same year.
BTS took #1 with MAP OF THE SOUL : 7 and #2 with BE (Deluxe Edition). MAP OF THE SOUL : 7 THE JOURNEY came in at #8.
The group is the second act since Michael Jackson in 2009 to rank 3 albums in the top 10 Global Album Sales chart.
BE (Deluxe Edition) also made an appearance on IFPI’s Global Album All Format chart at #4, with MAP OF THE SOUL : 7 taking #1, breaking the all time sales record in Korea. The latter album made a total 6 appearances on IFPI’s global charts for 2020, being the most pre-ordered album of all time and charting as #1 in over 20 countries.
