BTS’ new Japanese single tops Oricon chart

BTS again proved its popularity in Japan, with its eighth Japanese single “Mic Drop/ DNA/ Crystal Snow” notching the No. 1 spot on Oricon’s daily singles chart.

The album, released on Wednesday, landed the top spot with a total of 269,861 Oricon points on the first day of release, making this the fifth time the group has shot to the top of the Japanese charts. 

BTS first topped the Oricon charts in June 2015 with its fourth Japanese single “For You.” The group has since topped the charts with its singles, “I Need U (Japanese Ver.),” “Run (Japanese Ver.) and “Blood, Sweats & Tears.”

The latest single album released in Japan consists of the Japanese versions of its hit tracks from the latest album “Love Yourself Seung Her,” “DNA” and “MIC Drop,” and a new Japanese original winter song “Crystal Snow.”

BTS is set to perform on Japanese channel TV Asahi’s “Music Station Super Live 2017” on Dec. 22.
