BTS continue to achieve impressive milestones with the South Korean boy band's new album "You Never Walk Alone." Recently, the seven-member group even made Kpop history on Billboard.

BTS is no stranger to having their albums or songs charting on several music lists. Since 2015, three of the Kpop group's albums secured their own spots on the Billboard 200 chart. Given the recent entry of "You Never Walk Alone" in the said chart at number 61, the septet reached a new achievement as the only Korean act to have four albums that made the list.

In an announcement released by BTS' agency, as obtained by Korea Herald, Big Hit Entertainment highlighted how the said achievement also marked the first instance that a Korean artist charted on the Billboard 200 for the fourth time in a row. Apart from "You Never Walk Alone," the band's earlier albums namely "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life, Pt. 2," "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life: Young Forever" and "Wings" also landed on the said list.

"Wings" held the highest chart ranking among the four albums at number 26 during its peak. Meanwhile, "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life, Pt. 2" and "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life: Young Forever" reached the 171st and 107th spots on the Billboard 200, respectively.

Meanwhile, BTS' new album "You Never Walk Alone" contained extended versions of several tracks from "Wings." Aside from the said songs, the repackaged album also included four new tunes with "Spring Day" as the album's main track, as well as "Outro: Wings," "A Supplementary Story: You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Not Today."

Recently, the music video for "Not Today" broke through the 20 million view count level on YouTube. Posted on the said video streaming site on Feb. 20, the clip hit the said milestone in less than three days, according to Soompi.
