A total of 23 songs are contained in the album, including BTS' original
Japanese songs "Film Out," "Your Eyes Tell," and
"Crystal Snow," as well as the Japanese versions of "Blood Sweat
and Tears," "Fake Love," "Idol," and "On." The
K-pop act's "Dynamite," which swept the music charts last year, was
included as a bonus track.
BTS announced the release of "BTS, The Best" album by pre-releasing
the song "Film Out" in April.
The song, made by member Jungkook in collaboration with Japanese band Back
Number, topped the Oricon's daily digital singles chart shortly after its
release, and also reigned atop the weekly streaming rankings by recording more
than 10 million streams a week.
It was the first Japanese song by BTS to enter the Billboard main single chart
"Hot 100," proving the band's popularity in not only Japan but also
in the U.S.
