BTS

BTS are a South Korean K-pop group. In 2018, they became the first K-pop band ever to score a Top 40 hit single on the UK's Official Singles Chart with Idol, that sames year BTS were also confirmed by the Official Charts Company as the first K-pop act to scoop a Top 10 record on the UK's Official Albums Chart. In April 2019, the seven-member group landed straight in at Number 1 with their fourth collection, Map Of The Soul : Persona, and made UK chart history in doing so - becoming the first K-pop act to score a UK Number 1 album.

Getting Coldplay and Max Martin to a new track it's their ultimate effort to get a #01 in UK but it looks like it's not going to happen as the song is falling fast in iTunes UK and it's still not even TOP 40 in UK Spotify. Almost certain they will get a 4th UK TOP 10 Hit with "My Universe" this week. They are really struggling to have success in Europe (UK is BTS best market in Europe both saleswise and chartswise).

How are BTS "'killing' it" and "slaying the UK"?
Are you people Korean spambots that can't read statistics? #13 is BTS's highest UK chart position - despite all the hype and band advertising - with a total of just 6 weeks in the top 40 for all their songs! LOL.

Yes but where is any other Korean artist charting in this market compared to them? And you also conveniently ignored the fact that they scored 2 consecutive #1 albums on the chart as well. No other Korean artists have done this. They're also outcharting many of their western contemporaries. Not to mention they also have multiple silver and gold certifications from BPI for this same music. So again, even though they haven't had a #1 single which you seem heavily fixated on for some reason (and the fact that they've had minimal to no British radio airplay), they are quite clearly slaying the charts.

I'm honestly so proud of how far they've gotten, years back we never even knew if it was possible that BTS could chart in the UK; heck all ARMY could do was try to defend the boys online and spread their art, but look at them now! No.1 is so many countries! Even in the UK!

Why does it say Loen when they are with Big Hit?

I think it's because LOEN is the distributer! LOEN distributes albums for a lot of different entertainment companies :) If you look at all of BTS' albums you'll see LOEN written on the spine ^^
