According to a new piece published by the Washington Post, Map of the Soul: 7 has already racked up an incredible four million pre-orders worldwide. It’s extremely uncommon for any musician, even the most successful in the industry at the moment, to sell four million copies at all, let alone before a title has even dropped. Big Hit Entertainment, BTS’s record label, revealed that between January 9 (when pre-orders opened) and January 15, the K-pop superstars’ new set was purchased 3.42 million times. That’s an eye-popping sum, and it has grown by at least 600,000 copies by now, perhaps even more. It could reasonably climb to four and a half million, or maybe even higher.
