A new BTS song was just released, making the total number of songs that they have released to date fourteen (14). Four of these songs were part of their first mini-album, two were part of their second mini-album, two were part of their third mini-album, and two were part of their fourth mini-album, and one was part of their fifth mini-album. The remaining two were both included on The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Part 2 album. Which was released on November 30th of 2015.
There are a lot of reasons why ARMYs were worried about BTS
#1: On the US Billboard 200—the first BTS album to not do so. It also wasn’t their best-selling album in Korea, selling just over 280,000 copies. But now fans can rest easy: Big Hit Entertainment seems to have a good game plan when it comes to marketing and distributing their product. Love Yourself: Tear sold more copies than any other Korean solo or group album in one week since 2015! While they haven’t broken One Direction’s record of 956K sales in a week yet (and that may be impossible), they’re poised to come very close.
#2: The Music Industry is Changing Rapidly,
Streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music make it easier for artists to get discovered. There are a lot of ways to measure success these days. But one thing is clear: if you want to make money as an artist. You need your music to be heard by as many people as possible. And with ARMY spreading BTS’s music across social media platforms like Twitter and Tumblr. There was no way for them not to notice.
#3: This time around Big Hit decided not only to release physical albums in South Korea but also overseas—something they hadn’t done before.
How to check if BTS will release more songs in 2019
K-Pop group BTS is known for always keeping their fans on their toes with new music, photo, and video releases. And one of their most recent teasers is a photo of seven CDs with different colored backings. Which are believed to be possible songs that could be released in 2019. But how do you know if BTS will release more albums in 2019? Let’s find out. First, let’s start by taking a look at what we already know about BTS. The popular K-pop boy band was formed by Big Hit Entertainment in 2013 and consists of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM (formerly Rap Monster), Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
The answer was released on Aug. 24 — less than two months after Love Yourself: Tear — but it’s not likely they’ll have another album. Before next year because members have been busy promoting solo projects since then. Leader RM recently announced he would be releasing his first mixtape on Oct. 23, so it looks like BTS won’t be making any new music anytime soon. However, there is still some hope for ARMYs. Who want to see some new tunes from BTS sooner rather than later! In an interview with Billboard published Sept.
Analyzing their Discography so far
Their three full-length albums, which add up to just under 70 minutes of music, have been loaded with tracks. Their debut album included 10 tracks and their sophomore effort had 13; so far. Their latest album also contains 13 tracks. Looking through their discography so far reveals an unusually high number of collaborative singles: there are four collaborations on Dark & Wild and five collaborations on The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt. 1 (Hold Me Tight with Wale being a stand-out).
On one hand, it makes sense for BTS to release a few more singles or some smaller releases before releasing their next full-length: it’s not out of character for Korean artists to release 5–6 singles over 6 months or so. But on another hand, they’ve gotten pretty good at cramming all. That they need into each of their albums—they don’t necessarily need to do anything differently here. So I think it’s fair to say that we’ll be getting at least one more single from them soon enough!
We should expect something by late June/early July! They’ve never done anything like a pre-release single though. I wonder if we’ll get something like that?
4: Releasing more Music Videos in 2019
BTS is one of K-pop’s most prolific groups when it comes to music. The septet has put out more than a dozen full-length albums, plus an assortment of singles and music videos, since their debut in 2013. BTS’ 2018 Love Yourself: Tear release featured a total of six different tracks including two versions of lead single Fake Love.
According to YouTube data, they are K-pop’s most viewed artists of all time with over 10 billion views and counting. With that kind of momentum, fans can expect even more from BTS in 2019. RM recently confirmed that another new album is coming soon and there will be multiple music videos for each track. Given how much success they’ve had so far with their visual content, we’re excited to see what else BTS has up their sleeves!
5: Which tracks would be the best choices?
Run, Dope, and Fire are all strong contenders. These three tracks are all upbeat, peppy rap/hip-hop songs that feature strong and confident vocals from each member. Their lyrics can be about anything; for example, Run is about youth who run away from their problems or school. Any track from any of BTS’ mixtapes could potentially be a top choice to perform at KCON 2017 NY!
Which would you choose?
A single from Wings (you might remember Spring Day as one of their most recent singles) or Blood Sweat & Tears would also make great choices for KCON 2017 NY. There’s something about a live performance that makes fans feel closer to artists they love so we recommend either one!
What’s your favorite song?
Maybe it’s not on our list but if you have an opinion on which song should be performed at KCON 2017 NY, let us know in the comments below! We’d love to hear what you think!
Releasing more albums in 2019? (PROJECT ZIP)
On September 10, BTS announced that they will be releasing a new album on October 8, 2019. Love Yourself: Answer is their third Korean-language compilation and was preceded by two singles: Idol and IDOL [The Chainsmokers Remix]. The album contains seven new tracks including six solo compositions (one of which features English lyrics) as well as one collaboration with Nicki Minaj.
The earlier release date of September 24 was also announced but was postponed due to scheduling conflicts with Big Hit Entertainment’s documentary project titled BTS Comeback Story in Seoul. The music video for Idol was released on September 9 along with an announcement for Idol Challenge.
Where fans could upload videos dancing to Idol for a chance to win tickets to BTS’ upcoming world tour. In celebration of their comeback, it was announced that members RM and Jin would make guest appearances on JTBC’s talk show Non-Summit they were joined by other K-pop artists such as Block B’s P.O., iKON’s Bobby, and Yoo Seung Woo from Wanna One.
