Okay but beyond the #1 the stats are INSANE??
>The set opens with 641,000 equivalent album units earned — **the largest week for an album by a group since the chart began measuring by units in December 2014.** Of that sum, 532,000 are in pure album sales (purchases of physical and digital albums), landing BTS **the biggest sales week for an album by a group in more than a decade.**
Just wild. So proud of them and of armys for showing up to show them that they really did stay.

The fact that this album could still hit No. 1 without album physical sales says a lot, especially when you factor in YouTube being excluded.
YouTube has historically been a huge metric for Korean artists in the U.S. I thought BTS would be more impacted by that change, but these numbers say otherwise. This is the biggest streaming debut (~100MM) the category has ever seen by a wide margin (even considering BTS past performance) and YouTube would have probably added at least 15MM to that streaming number.

*SEA units comprise 95,000 (equaling 99.10 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs, BTS’ biggest streaming week ever for an album; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums).*
this is crazy

Biggest debut by a male artist this decade and 6th biggest overall (only behind taylor swift). This is so amazing.
BTS are one of the biggest artists in the world atm. Also the past few days have shown how they’re truly global as they’re hitting #1 in different markets across countries and continents 🫶

TEA and SEA units tracked with HITTS estimate, so we should feel good about tomorrow? 🙏
Edit: it tracked with hitts, not higher.

The numbers for vinyls is also crazy!
*BTS‘ ‚ARIRANG‘ breaks the record for biggest vinyl sales week for any album by any male artist in Nielsen history with 208K sold.*

Well deserved. This album really grew on me as the days went by.

I am so so proud of them and so happy! Congratulations BTS! ARIRANG is smashing it everywhere and it’s so much deserved because what an album!
641K units is insanity, this is the biggest debut week by any male artist this decade surpassing Drake’s Certified Lover Boy and only Taylor Swift and Adele has done more numbers then them. They also now hold the record for the biggest Vinyl sale week by any male act in history surpassing Harry Styles. It’s also crazy how they did ~100 million in streams (95K units) even without youtube counting any longer and they would still have debuted at number 1 without pure sales.

The largest pure sales in a week for a group since Midnight Memories by One Direction in 2013. That was before streaming started to take off when most fans were still buying physical albums. The equivalent album units number for ARIRANG is actually higher than Midnight Memories sales numbers, but streaming wasn’t accounted for in the Billboard 200 until December 2014.

Their 7th No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart!!!🕺
7th NO.1 ALBUM FOR THEIR FIRST ALBUM AFTER HIATUS.
640K units is actually insane. Welcome back KINGS
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 BTS
Crazy numbers! Congratulations BTS!
It would have still been #1 with only SEA (also using the same criteria for the rest of the artists)
What a comeback!
It’s the 7!!! What a comeback!!!!
Their lyrics to 2.0 seem super appropriate – [see doolset translation here](https://doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/2026/03/22/2-0/).
