So the world’s biggest boy group are back this Friday with their 5th studio album titled ‘Be’. What are your predictions for its opening week? Personally considering the huge success of Dynamite (and the fact that it’s included on the album and still going strong) and also Christmas sales, I can see this marking their biggest debut yet. The big question is will it become the second-fastest selling album of the year? I say second as I don’t see them topping AD/DC’s set-to-be huge opening this week. The tracklist can be found below, I’m really excited for ‘Life Goes On’ as it is said to be “classic BTS” - their first number-one single perhaps?

Obviously it will be huge, do they sell well on physicals? I’ve just seen the deluxe version is £49.99 on HMV blink.gif

I think they’ll sell more than their last album but less than what Kylie, Gaga and Bruce did maybes just under 50k like what Little Mix managed but with a #1 debut.

Yeah I’m thinking a number-one debut with around 48k

I think they could easily do 50-60K if they already did 37K on Feb
considering now is Q4 and they've had a big proper hit this time

I don’t see Life Goes On making too much of a splash as it is a ballad in Korean, however still have high hopes for the album to perform really well

#2 with 15k today - I think it'll stay in that position and will get to around #22k.

So most here have been wrong as it stands!

^not sure, I just checked and last time their updates were very very irregular and weird,

BTS - Map of the Soul : 7 daily sales using the midweek updates

Monday sales: +7.4k
Tuesday sales: +2.7k
Wednesday sales: +1.7k
Thursday sales + upweighted data: +2.3k

Not a particularly erratic pattern? Just an unsurprisingly frontloaded release.
