The members of the boy band BTS have become the first Korean artists to top the Billboard 200 with their third studio album
The band's "Love Yourself: Tear" ranked No. 1 on the Billboard main albums chart on Sunday (US time).

The BTS album, released May 18, launched with 135,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending May 24, the online edition of the U.S. Billboard magazine said, citing tallies from Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 100,000 were in traditional album sales, it added.
