K-pop sensation BTS has done it again, topping Japan’s Oricon chart with a Korean language version of its recently-released “Love Yourself Seung Her.”

The album has topped Oricon’s monthly album chart for September. BTS was one of three Korean artist groups which have made it to the top 10 for the chart, the others two being EXO and VIXX.

BTS recently wrapped up its activities related to “Love Yourself Seung Her” and its title track “DNA,” with impressive feats both locally and internationally.

The album sold 1.2 million copies in Korea, which was the highest figure here since g.o.d’s fourth studio album in 2001.

It topped iTunes chart in 77 countries, most for any Korean artist, and BTS became the first Korean artist to stay on Billboard’s Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts for three weeks.
