We won't count it like an album cause no matter how you look at it it's still a physical single containing 2 tracks only. The sales are still mindblowing though.

how are you going to count them in then, if you dont mind me asking?

This chartmasters site is wack I mean why do they spam unrelated tags on their own site 😭😭 and don't you guys remember Ed Sheeran debuted post-2010? BTS is not the most famous act only if act means collective

Ed Sheeran was slightly behind them when the article was last updated, but they're actually really increasing the gap at the moment, you can check that out here https://chartmasters.org/2017/10/best-selling-artists-albums-and-singles-of-all-time/18/. Although Ed Sheeran is more popular than BTS, they are more prolific and have a more successful catalogue at the moment.

Simply wrong. Say no more we are done with this convo.

i think your done on this website. goodbye

Wanted to point out that BTS has only one 'Best of' album till date, "Best of BTS" which is a Japanese release

I'm disappointed when ARMY can't recognize trolls and just laugh at it.

Does Spotify filter total streams too? I don’t think they do. So why isn’t MelOn a good metric? It’s the most used music plataform in South Korea.

It's not the most significant however. MelOn filters very little and in turn, overexaggerates the totals.

MelOn also has a huge bias because they have many controversies with other groups and artists.

The filtering on melon is definitely way worse than spotify considering the ridiculous streams some songs get while being a local platform vs a global one.

Also, melon doesnt even have that much of a marketshare lead over genie yet the streams are doubled or tripled there. That says a lot about their relevance

MOTS: Persona being the best selling album is unsurprising. But I didn't know Wings was their 2nd best selling album.

Their pure units total for all countries is 31.7m. Nearly 24m of those came from Asia, predominantly Korea.

4m in the U.S is still a big number though
