After BTS announced the coming of their third album, Love Yourself: Tear, and the start of its pre-order date, the LP is now topping the charts. The full-length album will not be available until May 18, but it looks like it will be surely a big hit.

According to Soompi, Love Yourself: Tear successfully topped Amazon's CDs & Vinyl Best Sellers list just a couple of hours after its pre-order started. Evidently, the ARMY all over the world will make everything to secure their own copies of their favorite South Korean boy band's new album.

To recall, BTS' mini-album Love Yourself: Her was the first Korean release that was made available for pre-order on Amazon. It also broke some records by staying to be on top of the site's CDs & Vinyl Best Sellers list for six consecutive days.

Love Yourself: Tear is BTS' third installment to their album series. In a statement released by Big Hit Entertainment via E! News, the entertainment company revealed the upcoming third album is going to feature the "sadness and pain" love can have. This is compared to the first two LPs, Love Yourself: Wonder and Love Yourself: Her, which tackled the excitement of love.

To recall, as previously reported by Korea Portal, BTS announced the release of Love Yourself: Tear on their fan café on Thursday, April 17. It is said to have four versions to be added to their fans' collection.

In a teaser image revealed by the group, the LP will include four versions of a photo book with 104 pages and a mini-book with 20 pages called "The Notes." Love Yourself: Tear also comes with random photo cards, assumed to be BTS' images. It also has one special photo card. Of course, it is complete with a CD and other additions like a standing photo and four posters.

Evidently, BTS might have another successful year this 2018 after they thrived continuously in 2017. With their recently released new video, Euphoria: Theme of Love Yourself Wonder and having their own YouTube Original series titled BTS: Burn the Stage; fans are surely in for more.
