(CNN) South Korean boy band BTS has become the first K-pop group to top the US Billboard 200 chart, with the debut of their new album, "Love Yourself: Tear." The album was released on May 18 and sold 135,000 total copies in its first week, including 100,000 traditional album sales. That makes this debut the second-biggest of 2018, just behind Migos' "Culture II", which sold 199,000 copies in its first week. It's also the first foreign-language album to top the Billboard 200 in over 12 years -- since Il Divo's 2006 album "Ancora." This marks the second time BTS has appeared in the Billboard Top Ten, the first being their previous album 'Love Yourself: Her,' which opened at No.
