The Bangtan Boys (BTS) album “BE” was recently released on November 20, 2020. In terms of K-Pop albums, most sales are usually done within the first week of the album's release, so a lot of attention is usually focused on how the album does in that amount of time. .
BTS is off to a great start with their latest album. Yesterday, Friday (27/11), Hanteo Chart announced that BTS's new album "BE (Deluxe Edition)" had sold 2,274,882 units in its first week of sales (from November 20 to 26).
The album has now officially reached the second highest first week sales in Hanteo Chart history. This album was only beaten by BTS's previous album "Map of the Soul: 7" which sold 3,378,633 units in its first week.
