A tweet by Australian singer Sia, whom the band collaborated with on the album, also gained attention on the social network.

Trending hashtags, meanwhile, included #BTS, #BTSComeback2020, the album title #MAP_OF_THE_SOUL_7, and the title track #ON, said Twitter.

“Map of the Soul: 7” was the most pre-ordered South Korean album of all time, with more than 4 million copies sold before its release.

BTS — or Bangtan Sonyeondan, which translates as Bulletproof Boy Scouts — are the first K-pop group to top charts in the US and Britain.
