NEW RELEASE: A BTS MAP

BigHit/Columbia's BTS is set for a big #1 bow on the next HITS Top 50 chart with MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA.

The K-Pop group's "Boy (With Luv)" f/Halsey is currently Top 5 on the Spotify U.S. and Global charts, and #2 at iTunes (where the group has the #1 album and three other songs in the Top 10).

Based on very early reads—and following a slightly later-than-usual release—here's what we're seeing. Stay tuned for updates.

BTS (BigHit/Columbia) 200-240k total activity, 160-190k album

[Naos]

Ugh, they're just getting bigger with every release. What happened to boy bands just fizzling out?

[thegreatdivine]

I dig their consistency. They're determined to be established in the US and they're almost there already.

[Wavey✨️]

Kings! Let the the K-Pop FLOURISH in the US.

They are getting a pretty big debut and a #1 album. It's pretty clear they've already established themselves in the US, unfortunately.

I'm not though. The only K-pop act I really like is TWICE, and they sound closer to a J-pop group anyway.

BTS's first week numbers now a narrower range and some of the other debuting albums have numbers:

NEW RELEASES: A BTS MAP (UPDATE)

BigHit/Columbia's BTS is set for a big #1 bow on the next HITS Top 50 chart with MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA.

The K-Pop group's "Boy (With Luv)" f/Halsey is currently Top 5 on the Spotify U.S. and Global charts, and #3 at iTunes (where the group has the #1 album).

The “Boy With Luv” video was viewed 74.6m times in its first 24 hours, setting a record for the most-viewed 24 hour music video debut in YouTube history. “Boy With Luv” is also the fastest music video to hit 100m views on YouTube, reaching the milestone in less than two days.

MAP is also the top digital and physical sales title at Amazon.The troupe performed "Boy" and "Mic Drop" on 4/13's SNL; take a look below.

Based on very early reads—and following a slightly later-than-usual release—here's what we're seeing for this and some other key drops:

BTS (BigHit/Columbia) 210-225k total activity, 175-185k album
Anderson .Paak (12Tone/Aftermath) 45-50k, 33-37k album
Aaron Lewis (Big Machine) 21-24k, 20-23k album

How was your Couchella? We got totally lit on coffee then hit up the "weed tent."

Luke Combs' streaming numbers are REALLY impressive for a country album.

[owenlovesmusic]

Posty still in the top ten after almost a full year 💪🏻

Whoa what a drop for Khalid

Massive drop for him. Billie is more stable, which is surprising considering it's her third week and it's his second and he's a more established streaming act than her. He also has more hits off/on his album than her, but I guess everyone slept through the album.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

I guess Beyonce's just-released "Homecoming: The Live Album" could prevent BTS from debuting at #1, even with only two days of activity. I would guess it will debut at least at #2 this week and be #1 next week, assuming no surprise releases then.

[collegedropout]

If her last album which actually had new material and a single with a video couldn't, why would this live album of old material do it?

How isn’t it?! It was new material and once again a surprise release. This is pretty a way to profit off the Netflix documentary. I can see thousands of people paying for a live album of a performance from a year ago when they wouldn’t even purchase new material.

Hive is always here for solo Beyonce, not so much for Beyonce and her plus-one. IDK if this live album will be enough to top BTS (the lack of a physical will be Bey's main disadvantage) but I wouldn't at all be surprised to see it do as well as or even outperform Everything Is Love. I have seen a lot of Bey fans openly say they were happy to get this live album b/c the sound quality is better than their shitty rips from the live stream a year ago.

Because for one, it wasn't a Beyonce album. Her name wasn't on it. Just as you can't use it to imply how the next Jay-Z album would do.

It depends. Beyonce's live album would probably be the only one that could prevent that from happening next week, given that no announced major releases are in store for then. The week after that, P!nk's new album, which I assume would be #1 then, unless Taylor Swift ends up releasing hers. If the latter does happen, all bets are off.

[shayonce]

If she released album on friday, it could be #1 contender for next week but as its big sales/streams are on this week(first 2day), I don't think she can hit #1 next week.
for this week.. hitting 50k for this 2day would be huge, amazing result for a year old live album+ $19.99. pray for top 5.
as usual B really doesn't care about charts.. lol throwing away possible #1 position like that..

do we have any data for live album's debut on billboard? (without ticket bundle or concert series,cd+dvd)

[gabe]

i didn't even realize bts released an album, thought it was just one subpar song

[Naos]

SET YOUR DVRS: BTS SUNDAY MORNING


BigHit/Columbia's BTS, who land with a suitably loud noise at #1 on this week's HITS Top 50 chart with 230k, will be featured on CBS Sunday Morning on 4/21. You can check out a charming sample of the K-Pop lads' segment here. Be sure to watch it with your favorite grandparent. The troupe's "Boy With Luv" f/Halsey is #6 on Spotify's Global Chart and #9 U.S., and Top 15 on Apple Music's global 100. It's Top 30 at Pop radio.

CHART STORY: BTS IS A BFD

BigHit/Columbia’s BTS have debuted at #1 on the HITS Top 50 Chart with Map of the Soul: Persona, which scored 230k—the K-Pop sensations’ best opening yet. The band previously debuted with 185k for Love Yourself: Answer last August.

Ron Perry’s Columbia has the #1 slot on every one of this week’s charts, as BTS also reign in pure album sales and Lil Nas X’s smash “Old Town Road”—along with its Billy Ray Cyrus remix—dominates in the Streaming Songs, Song Revenue and Country Song Streams areas.

The week’s second-biggest bow belongs to Aftermath/12 Tone’s Anderson .Paak, whose Ventura rounds out the Top 5 with nearly 50k.

Other noteworthy new releases include Beyoncé’s Homecoming: The Live Album (Parkwood/Columbia), which is benefiting from only two days of activity due to the set’s surprise drop on a Wednesday, alongside a Netflix documentary chronicling her landmark Coachella performance.

There’s also Aaron Lewis’ State I’m In (Big Machine/BMLG), which enters at #14, moving 23k.

In her third week, Darkroom/Interscope’s Billie Eilish holds at #2. WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP tacks on an additional 91k, down just 21% after her sensational Coachella bow. We hear John Janick’s flower crown is now gold-leafed.

UMG leads the pack with 40% marketshare; SME follows with 33% and WMG takes 26%, while the Indies claim 1%.

Streeting this week are RCA’s Cage the Elephant and Strange Music’s Tech N9ne.

We wish you all a lovely holiday weekend, whether you're celebrating Easter, Passover or 4/20.
