BTS has scored yet another record, becoming the highest charting K-pop group in the UK.

The septet ranked 21st on the official UK singles chart for the week ending Aug. 31, breaking its own record, set by “Fake Love,” which peaked at number 42.

The UK’s Official Charts Company said the group “made history by becoming the first K-pop group to score a Top 40 single.”

BTS is one of the three acts in K-pop to enter the top 100 of the official UK singles chart along with Psy who reached the top spot with international hit “Gangnam Style” and Black Pink.

The group reached another milestone over the weekend after the video for “Fake Love” surpassed 300 million views, joining the likes of “DNA” and “MIC Drop.”

Last week, it dominated headlines across the world after its latest single “Idol” became the most watched music video in 24 hours to date, unseating “Look What You Made Me Do” by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.
