The BBMA nominations come a day after BTS achieved another feat. Eldest member Jin's album Happy has debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 album chart. With him, all seven members of BTS have now hit the Billboard 200 album chart's top 10 as soloists. Jin aka Kim Seokjin joined his fellow BTS members J-Hope, Jimin, Jung Kook, RM, Suga and V with individual top 10s.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. BTS as a group first reached the top 10 with LOVE YOURSELF: Her on the October 7, 2017-dated chart when it debuted and peaked at No. 7. It was the first of seven top 10s for the act, with six of those reaching No. 1.
The first BTS member to reach the top 10 as a soloist was RM, who reached No. 3 on the Dec. 31, 2022-dated chart with Indigo. He's since visited the top 10 again with Right Place, Wrong Person, which reached No. 5 on the June 8, 2024-dated list.
