(PRESSREELS) BTS set a new world record beyond the record held by pop star Adele.
The U.S. business magazine Forbes said on July 6 (local time) that BTS’ “Black Swan” set a new record by topping the iTunes top singles chart in 104 countries. This is beyond the top spot in 102 countries that Adele recorded with her global hit song “Hello.”
“The new record for ‘Black Swan’ was achieved through SNS,” Forbes said. “BTS fans induced the purchase of songs through SNS so that they could reach the top of the charts. We have set a new record by winning first place in Nepal, Zimbabwe and Caboverde.
“Black Swan” is the pre-released song of BTS’ fourth full-length album “MAP OF THE SOUL : 7.” The song captures the confession of BTS as an artist who has grown musically.
