SEOUL, June 11 (Yonhap) -- The new album "Proof," released by K-pop super band BTS, sold more than 2 million copies on the first day of its release, making it a double million seller.
According to its agency Big Hit Music on the 11th, the album, which was released the previous day, sold 2,155,363 copies (as of 11 p.m. on the 10th) on the day of release on the Hanteo Chart.
BTS has achieved another 2 million sales on the first day of its release following its fourth full-length album "MAP OF THE SOUL: 7" in February 2020.
Big Hit Music said, "Selling 2 million copies on the day of the new album’s release is the only record held by BTS so far."
The title song "Yet To Come" wrote the record of topping the list in an hour for the first time since the music site Melon introduced the Top 100 chart in August last year.
The song ranked No. 1 on iTunes' Top Song charts in 97 countries including the United States, Canada and Australia as of 8 a.m. Proof topped iTunes' Top Albums chart in 65 countries including the United States, Sweden, and Japan.
