And it's been charting since their debut, not once has it fallen out of the top 100 albums shipped weekly.
not elevator but stairs!

BTS – 2 Cool 4 SKOOL – 380,768 (Debut Year Sales: 24,441)
Source of sales: K-Pop Artist Sales @koreansales_twt - Google Sheets
they compile it straight from gaon
Looking at where they are right now!!!
I keep forgetting that tbh. A debut with one version.
Square Up will be #6 by the end of this year at least. I expect it to go double platinum like KTL eventually
Something that I'm adding now:
The albums listed and their 2021 sales (with the year of release of the physical)
NCT Dream's debut single album having bigger numbers in 2021 than the year it was released in
THey're one of I think 2 of the acts on the list where this happened.
NCT dream - Debut year sales of the album (2017)- 82,654 --> 2021 sales - 109,573
BTS - debut year sales of album (2013) - 24,441 --> 2021 sales - 75,278 (this is actually BTSs debut albums biggest year in sales in its entire 8 years of existence).
I guess this list counts debut as their fist album released on Gaon, because WayV's debut mini album was actually Take Off but it was only officially released on China and nobody knows how many units it sold exactly.
