BTS' new album "Wings" already broke sales and chart records for Kpop acts after its first week in America, but it is still earning further success for its second week on the Billboard 200. Moreover, BTS's newly released "Blood, Sweat & Tears" crossed the 30 million mark on Youtube almost two weeks after it was uploaded.

According to Billboard, "Wings" spends a second week on the Billboard 200 this week, making the boy band the first K-pop act to have an entry chart for more than one week.

"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 delivering a female-empowerment anthem ("21st Century Girls"), all over bombastic, hard-hitting hip-hop-heavy dance beats," as previously cited by the American entertainment media brand.

Moreover, BTS continues to grab another milestone as "Blood, Sweat & Tears" crossed the 30 million mark on YouTube.

According to Allkpop, the MV was released on the 10th at midnight KST. On the 23rd at 8:10 PM KST, the MV had 30,007,033 views. At 13 days, the MV is the fastest K-Pop MV ever to reach 30 million views.

Not just that, BTS' "Dope" music video from another their another single also hit 100 million views on Youtube.

"On October 25 at around 10 a.m. KST, the music video for the group's hit track "Dope" on the 1thek channel reached the 100 million view milestone, as well as also surpassed 1 million likes. In addition, Big Hit Entertainment's upload of the video has been viewed over 5 million times. "Dope" was released on June 23 of 2015, and is off BTS's third mini album "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life, Part 1,"" as cited by Soompi.

BTS is set to receive an award at the 2016 Popular Culture and Arts Awards Ceremony. The awards is said to be given to those who boost the societal status of pop culture and inspire more people to create.
