BTS Tops iTunes Charts Across The Globe With Japanese Version Of “Fake Love”

BTS have taken over music charts with their newest Japanese release!

On October 16 at 12 a.m. KST, BTS dropped their pre-release track “Fake Love,” a Japanese version of the title track from the “Love Yourself: Tear” album, from their upcoming Japanese single album.

Following its release, the song topped the iTunes Top Song charts of 38 different regions, including Argentina, Chile, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Indonesia, and Vietnam.

Previously, the original Korean version of “Fake Love” had taken No. 1 on the iTunes Top Songs charts of 52 different regions, and also entered at No. 10 on Billboard’s top songs chart, the Hot 100.

BTS will be releasing their Japanese single album that includes the Japanese version of “Fake Love” on November 7. The album will also consist of a Japanese version of “Airplane pt. 2.” Instead of “Bird,” an original collaboration track with AKB48 producer Yasushi Akimoto that was in the works, the single album will include a remix of “IDOL” and a remix of the Japanese version of “Fake Love.”

Following the release of their single album, BTS will also hold their concerts for the Japanese leg of their “Love Yourself” world tour at Tokyo Dome on November 13 and 14, Kyocera Dome in Osaka on November 21, 23, and 24, Nagoya Dome on January 12 and 13 of 2019, and Yafuoku! Dome in Fukuoka on February 16 and 17.

BTS is currently in the middle of the European leg of their world tour and will be performing at the  Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin on October 16 and 17.

Congratulations to BTS!
