K-Pop Superstars BTS Claim Two Of The Three Bestselling Albums In The World In 2018

In this picture taken on January 15, 2019, South Korean boy band BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys, pose on the red carpet at the 28th Seoul Music Awards in Seoul. - The K-pop phenomenon BTS is estimated to generate nearly 4 billion USD a year for the South Korean economy, but the boyband's seven members will still have to perform nearly two years of military service, in contrast to the likes of Tottenham Hotspurs striker Son Heung-min who had been granted a controversial exemption.

According to the list of the 10 bestselling albums in the world last year released just a short time ago by the IFPI , a London-based organization that “represents the recorded music industry worldwide,” BTS claims not one, but two spots on the ranking, something no other act managed to do., which sold 2.7 million copies around the globe in 2018. Just one spot down at No.

The South Korean all-male vocal group made history in the U.S. in 2018 by landing not one, but two No. 1 albums, becoming the first K-pop outfit to do so. The two aforementioned titles landed inside the top 10 on rankings all around the world as well, proving that their music appeals to millions, many of whom might not even speak Korean.
