BTS is earning several accolades with the Kpop group's latest album "You Never Walk Alone." Recently, the seven-member boy band reached an impressive milestone on Billboard.

BTS has had several of their albums enter Billboard's Top 200 album list. Similar to "Wings," the Kpop group's "You Never Walk Alone" nabbed a spot of the said chart shortly after its release.

Given the said album's recent entry into the Top 200 album list, "You Never Walk Alone" marked BTS' fourth consecutive album that ranked on the said chart. In an announcement released by the Kpop group's agency, as obtained by Korea Herald, Big Hit Entertainment highlighted the said milestone as the first time that a Korean artist's album appeared on the said Billboard chart four times in a row.

The Kpop boy band's earlier albums such as "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life, Pt. 2," and "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life: Young Forever" grabbed the 107th and the 171th spots, respectively, during its peak. "Wings" rose to as high as number 26, while "You Never Walk Alone" entered the Billboard Top 200 album list at number 61.

Despite being a repackaged version of "Wings," BTS' new album also contained four new tracks namely "A Supplementary Story: You Never Walk Alone," "Outro: Wings," "Spring Day" and "Not Today." Of the four new songs, "Spring Today" and "Not Today" became chart-toppers and even broke several records.

BTS' music videos for the said two tracks became some of the most viewed music clips on YouTube. The video for "Spring Day" even surpassed the 20 million view count in less than 88 hours. However, the "Not Today" music video broke BTS' own record when it crossed the 20 million mark in less than 67 hours, according to All Kpop.

BTS launched "You Never Walk Alone" on Feb. 13. The Kpop group also released the music video for "Spring Day" on the same day, while the "Not Today" music clip was unveiled on Feb. 20.
