"BTS - PROOF ON PACE TO SELL 300K FIRST WEEK"

BTS will unsurprisingly score a new #1 this week, as the group’s anthology release “Proof” will comfortably reign as America’s top-performing album.

According to Hits Daily Double, the album should generate 275-300K in total first week US units. Hits estimates that nearly 90% of the activity will come from traditional album sales, implying a figure in the 230-270K range.

Should the projections hold, “Proof” would debut with the year’s second-biggest sales total (after Harry Styles’ “Harry’s House” at 330K) and one of the top unit totals (after “Harry’s House” at over 521K, and in the same range as Kendrick Lamar’s “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers,” 295K, and Bad Bunny’s “Un Verano Sin Ti,” 274K)

With time BTS has become one of the most popular K-Pop band in the world. The Army has only made sure the love for them spreads wide and more. This new feat for them is the example of their mass popularity.

The anthology album had sold a total of 2.15 million copies as of 11 p.m. Friday, just 10 hours after it became available in the market, according to Hanteo Chart, a South Korean music chart, news agency Yonhap reported.
