D-2 is Suga’s (or Agust D’s, according to the name credited on the chart) second title to reach the 100-spot Top Album Sales chart, which is something that no other Korean soloist has managed before.
BTS member Suga, this week operating under his alter ego Agust D (which he has used when releasing both of his solo mixtapes) is back on the Billboard charts without his bandmates with his semi-surprise new full-length D-2. The set, a 10-track mixtape, opens at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the Top Album Sales ranking, which lists in order the bestselling albums in the country (which is different from the main albums list, which combines pure sales with streaming and track sale equivalents) thanks to just over 14,000 sales.
Making it to the runner-up rung is a big deal for Suga, as it’s a height no other solo South Korean musician has reached before (and only a handful of groups from the country have made it to that point), but that’s not the only way in which the rapper, singer, songwriter and producer has made history with his latest release.
