Pre-orders for BTS's new album surpassed 4 million copies in a week.
According to album distributor YG Plus, BTS's fifth full-length album "ARIRANG" recorded 4.06 million pre-orders as of the 22nd. This is the result of a week after pre-orders began on the 16th.
This is more than the team's accumulated most sold album, "MAP OF THE SOUL: 7", which is the fourth full-length album. The album sold 3.42 million pre-orders in a week at the time of pre-orders in 2020, and has since surpassed 5 million copies (based on the circle chart). Shinbo is raising pre-orders at a faster pace. In particular, attention is focusing on the record to be set at the end of pre-sale, given that "ARIRANG" is about two months away from its release.
BTS's interest in making a comeback appears in various indicators. The number of membership subscribers has tripled since the announcement of the release of the new album and the world tour was announced on the global super fan platform Weverse. On Spotify, a global audio and sound source streaming platform, it exceeded 1 million pre-saves two days after the start of the pre-save, and exceeded 2 million on the 4th. Attention is focusing on whether Taylor Swift will surpass the most presaves (about 6 million cases) ever set with her 12th full-length album "The Life of a Showgirl."
Meanwhile, "ARIRANG" is BTS's first new album in about three years and nine months and will be released at 1 p.m. on March 20. It is expected to gain sympathy from global music fans by dealing with the team's identity, longing, and universal feelings of deep love.
