Hi Denysanatol!
The 3.3m figure is estimated shipment for it. We kept the estimate here at the lower end since there's no Gaon figure yet.
Hi Finwion!
While total units of BTS as a franchise will be interesting to follow, we will definitely exclude sales and streams of tracks from solo members on their own total.
There are differences though. Some solo tracks don’t have BTS credit while others do. They must have a reason for it. Why aren’t you including it? There’s a difference between solo works from their solo mixtapes/albums and solo songs to solo songs with BTS credit. If you see, almost every solo song that has the BTS credit is due to swap deals. (Halsey did BWL with them and then Suga/BTS did Suga’s Interlude in her album; Juice Wrld did All Night with BTS and then Suga/BTS did Girl Of My Dreams for his album). Like, it doesn’t make sense including for example, Jhope’s new song “More” in BTS numbers. But it makes sense to include collabs where BTS are credited.
Haven't seen any article claiming such, a few compared BTS' success to that of Beatles in the 60s but haven't read one where they claimed that the Korean act is a much bigger phenomenon than the Fab Four
hi, I saw that here you described that the group is now on hiatus, and that is not entirely correct, it would be more accurate to say that they are on a break from the musical part of the group so that each one can explore and show their colors as soloists, however they will still continue doing other activities not related to new music as a group
They are really successful but dont have a iconic Hit like „I want it that way“ or „Wannabe“.
Hi Jeani! BTS has a slew of Korean hits, but in the United States and the rest of the world, they're best known for Dynamite, Butter, and Permission to Dance which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

Hey I was hoping why BTS Japanese discography sales not included. I thought it was orphan but orphan is only 1m sales. BTS the best, Face Yourself and MOTS Journey have sold like 2.5m units also where is Young Forever
Sales of their JP releases are included among compilations. None of them are regarded as studio releases though as they have many tracks already on KR albums. Their sales are therefore distributed across these.
I hope that at least the streaming units from left and right will also be counted for the group. Since it is credited that way on streaming platforms
Its going to be interesting how their droplets like "Bad Decisions" will play out for them and if its going to keep them rising here during their "break", since album sales are their strongest point
100M + already! 😵
it's not even been a decade!
no one does it like them 😈
It is included, it is just that the sales of the album and streams of the songs are re-distributed to the original album the songs belong to
Bts is going to release Vinyls for their Album "Love Yourself : Her" and potentially more of their Albums in the Future, please make sure to include those Sales in updates! Since we can't expect a new Album/ full Rollouts of future Projects until 2025 for now.
Thank you!
Yes, it will be interesting to see.
I can imagine them adding over 1m units if they release their whole discography on vinyl.
I have a question. It says that Dynamite has over 3 billion video streams on YouTube. But dynamite has only 1,5 billion views on YouTube. Could you explain it to me?

Hi Dilan Demir!
The totals shown for YouTube aren't just for the main music video. Live performances, dance practices, official and unofficial lyric videos etc are also included.
That's unfiltered streams. BTS has around 40-50% filter rate in all platforms, highest in the world.
No? It’s because the totals shown for YouTube aren’t just for the music video. Live performances, dance practices, lyric videos are also included in the total. Plus BTS doesn’t have all that filtering rate in all plataforms. You can’t even see that type of filtering on YouTube..
