BTS has gained worldwide success after setting a new U.S. record on the Billboard Chart 200. To celebrate this, the boy band released a special practice video of their hit track "Blood Sweat & Tears" from their recently launched album "Wings."

BTS is reportedly breaking records left and right soaring high on the U.S. Billboard charts. It was reported that the group's most recent album, "Wings," debuted at No. 26 on the Billboard 200 chart with 16,000 units earned in the week ending October 13. This was also reportedly is the best record for a Kpop album.

"BTS is now the first K-pop act to log three entries on the Billboard 200 after sending their EP ' HwaYangYeonhwa Pt. 2' to No. 171 in December 2015 and compilation album ' HwaYangYeonHwa: Young Forever' to No. 107 in May," according to an article published in Billboard.com.

"Since their debut, BTS has stood out in the K-pop scene for tackling social and society issues in their music," Billboard stated.

"Wings takes that dedication a step further by delving into the more complex issues in their young-adult lives including tackling mental health (see the sample-heavy "Am I Wrong"), taking digs at the Korean-pop idol scene (on the aggressive "2! 3!"), and even deliver a female-empowerment anthem ("21st Century Girls"), all over bombastic, hard-hitting hip-hop-heavy dance beats," the music charts media further stated.

Meanwhile, last October 18, BTS shared a photo of the group as they hang out together in a rehearsal studio, calling it a "preview shot" with the caption, "The thing that you guys have been waiting for," and "Blood, Sweat & Tears."

A few minutes later, BTS then uploaded a dance practice video of their phenomenal hit which garnered more than 2 million views (as of writing).
