It also achieved balanced success across various sub-charts, ranking No. 4 on Top Album Sales, No. 17 on Top Streaming Albums, and No. 13 on Vinyl Albums.

BTS' past albums also continue to receive steady love on the Billboard charts. Their 2022 anthology album "Proof" ranked No. 4 on the World Albums chart, marking its 206th week on the chart. Their fourth Japanese studio album "Map of the Soul: 7 ~ The Journey ~", third studio album "Love Yourself: Tear", and fifth mini-album "Love Yourself: Her" also made the charts.

Meanwhile, on May 25, BTS won three awards, including the highest honor of "Artist of the Year," at the American Music Awards, one of the top three major music award shows in the United States.
