This has been a week full of trophies for BTS! They have conquered not just Korea's Music Charts but also worldwide music charts as they have topped and won many awards this week. The group's newest album "Love Yourself: Her" and their title track "DNA," have been very popular worldwide. It was reported by Billboard, that last week, BTS became the first K-Pop group to enter both Billboard's Hot 100 chart and Billboard's 200 at the same time.
As their lyrics from "MIC Drop" says, "Did you see my bag? Did you see my bag? My bag’s filled with trophies." Let's have a look at their bag full of trophies for this week.
'DNA' collection of trophies for this week
BTS' title track "DNA" is currently dominating music charts! The song won its first trophy on September 26 at "The Show." They garnered a perfect score from three categories including music video, expert preferences, and live voting scores. Their fans, famously known as ARMYs, were very happy as well. To celebrate "DNA's" first win, the ARMYs created a hashtag - #DNA1stwin which trended on Twitter worldwide after the win.
Following their first win, "DNA" grabbed their second trophy the day after, on "Show Champion." The ARMYs created #DNA2ndwin, which again trended on Twitter worldwide to celebrate "DNA's" second win. On September 28, BTS won their third trophy for "DNA" on "MCountdown" with a total score of 11,000.
This was one of the highest scores on the show. To celebrate their third win, #DNA3rdwin again trended on Twitter worldwide. On the next day, BTS took their fourth trophy on "Music Bank" and knocked out IU's "Autumn Morning." The #DNA4thwin once again trended on Twitter worldwide.
It's amazing to see that BTS continues to fill their bags with trophies.

Two days before this milestone, they achieved the fastest K-Pop group to hit 60 million views on YouTube.
BTS has also dominated the United States music chart, Billboard, as they are the first K-Pop act who became the highest-ranked ever, on Billboard 200 chart. They were also the first act to enter into the top ten and to appear on both Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. On Billboard's Social 50, BTS reigns for another week on the chart, marking its 41st week atop the ranking.
