BTS topped the 'Billboard 200' once again.

In the week ending on April 19, the boy group landed No.1 on the 'Billboard 200' chart with 'Map of the Soul: Persona.' 

BTS has achieved their third No.1 album on the 'Billboard 200' in just 11 months. Back in June 2018, BTS topped the 'Billboard 200' for the first time with 'Love Yourself: Tear,' then 3 months later in September, they topped the chart again with 'Love Yourself: Answer.

BTS is also the first group since The Beatles to record three No.1s in less than a year. The only other group who gained three No.1s faster than BTS was the Monkees in 1967. 

Congratulations BTS!

Groups usually have it harder because they are less popular in the US than singers. And BTS not singing in English - that's what we call making history. They break the barriers in the music.
