The boy group BTS has dominated Japan's Oricon charts.

According to Oricon on the 28th, BTS's "Boy With Luv (Feat. Halsey)" surpassed a cumulative total of 1 million points in the latest "Weekly Combined Single Ranking" (dated September 28). This ranking is calculated by combining streaming numbers, digital downloads, and other metrics.

BTS now holds its fourth million-point single overall, following "Lights / Boy With Luv," "Dynamite," and "Butter (Permission to Dance)." This marks the highest number of works by an overseas artist to exceed 1 million points in the "Combined Single" category. In February, BTS became the first overseas artist to surpass 4 million points with "Butter (Permission to Dance)."

"Boy With Luv (Feat. Halsey)" is the title track from the mini album "MAP OF THE SOUL : PERSONA," released on April 12, 2019. As of September 28, it is approaching a cumulative total of 300 million streams in Oricon's "Weekly Streaming Ranking."

On the 27th (local time), BTS won the "Song of the Year" award at the "2026 MTV Video Music Awards" held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, USA, with their fifth full album title track "SWIM," becoming the first K-pop group to receive this honor. Including this win, BTS secured trophies in all three nominated categories: "Best K-Pop," "Best Group," and "Song of the Year." Notably, the "Best Group" award marks their fifth overall win, setting a new all-time record for Choi Da (수상).
