BTS has set a new milestone: They have become the first artist on Circle Chart (formerly known as Gaon Chart) to surpass 5 million album copies.

On November 10, it was revealed that BTS's 'MAP of the Soul: 7' became the first album in Circle Chart history to surpass 5 million album sales. This is an amazing feat since this number was reached in just a little over two years since the album was released back in 2020.

Despite the difficulties of the pandemic, and the global group was unable to go on their tour with this album, they were able to reach a significant number of sales.

While netizens were impressed by this accomplishment, fans were happy but also not surprised by the number since 'Map of the Soul: 7' is one of the best, if not the best, albums released by BTS.

Netizens and fans commented, "Map of the Soul:7 was called a monster album by fans too...It's so hard to break the first-week sales record," "5 million? that's so crazy," "I think MOS:7 was the first album I bought when I started being a fan too lol. Map of the Soul:7 is really a top album," "Does this mean that they are getting more fans?" "Wow, when it first came out, this album recorded 3 million sales, that means 2 million more albums were sold in the last two years," "You need to get all of the BTS albums because they are all different and they have different charms," and "That's so crazy how they reached 5 million sales in just two and a half years."
