I’m so proud of BTS SUGA for achieving this and we’re talking about physical album copies here!
According to recent Billboard statistics, BTS member SUGA’s first full-length album “๐-๐๐๐ฌ” sold over 118,000 copies in the US alone in its first week of release. ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐’๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ฏ๐๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐๐ต ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฝ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฝ ๐ฎ๐น๐ฏ๐๐บ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฌ,๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฃ๐๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐.
Only 6 Rap albums have sold over 100,000 copies in their first week of release over the past 10 years:
“UTOPIA” by Travis Scott (252,000 copies)
“Legends Never Die” by Juice WRLD (209,000 copies)
“No Pressure” by Logic (172,000 copies)
“๐-๐๐๐ฌ” ๐ฏ๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐/๐๐ด๐๐๐๐ (๐ญ๐ญ๐ด,๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฒ๐)
“Music To Be Murdered By” by Eminem (117,000 copies)
“The Death of Slim Shady” by Eminem (114,000 copies)
๐๐๐๐๐พ๐: ๐ฟ๐๐๐ (๐ฟ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฉ๐๐)
I’m pretty sure that with all humility, SUGA would still be in disbelief knowing that he’s outsold his idol (EMINEM).
