Just recently on July 3rd, Big Hit Entertainment boy group BTS released their ‘Lights / Boy WIth Luv’ Japanese edition, making it their 10th single released in the country. Following its release, the song immediately worldwide and racked up millions of streams. The music video alone has gained 15+ million views in just two days!

In addition, the release has killed it on the Oricon Charts as the group accumulated a total of 467,000 points.

The song’s preorder sales are even more impressive. “Lights” sold 1 million preorders, breaking Celine Dion‘s 1995 record in Japan. Her song, “To Love You More” wore this crown for 24 years!

But the biggest achievement that this release managed to bring about was beating the legendary Celine Dion, who held the title of being the artist to sell the most copies of album in Japan (To Love You More) for twenty-four years.

Congratulations to BTS!
