Hanteo Chart Reports BTS’s V “Layover” Is The Highest Selling Album By A Soloist On The 1st Day, Then Overturns The Exact Number Due To This
Hanteo Chart has raised eyebrows and angered BTS fans after recanting its recent announcement about album sales!
On September 8, the chart said BTS’s V “Layover” has set a new record on Hanteo as the highest-selling album by a solo artist for first-day sales. According to their initial release, the album sold 1.02 million copies of the regular version and around 310,000 copies of the Weverse version by 5:07 PM on the same day.
While ARMY celebrated the huge happy news, the chart would come back to reverse its announcement about the specific number. They released a statement in both English and Korea that reads, “The real-time sales volume of ‘V (BTS) – Layover, Weverse Albums ver.’ on September 8 was overcounted due to violation of KPOPMERCH regulations, and a correction notice was issued after reviewing the entire actual sales volume.”
As it stands, the Hanteo Chart revealed the new sales number which eliminated a considerable number of album sales, even with this in mind, BTS V still made a record for 1st day album sales by a soloist for the chart.
