    What's the story

    Good news for all the BTS and RM, aka Kim Nam-joon, fans!

    The first-ever solo album of RM, titled Indigo, has entered the top three of the Billboard 200 chart.

    With this, RM has become the first Korean star to achieve this feat as a solo artist. Indigo, his first album, was released earlier this month and it comprises a total of 10 songs.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    After J-Hope and Jin, RM is the third BTS member to release solo music. Indigo marks the K-pop artist's second solo work and first-ever album.

    The album, which he previously called the "last archive of his twenties" has songs written based on his life experiences in the last 10 years.

    It also made an impressive debut on UK's Official Albums Charts at 45th position.

    Achievement

    After achieving this big feat, RM became the first Korean soloist to enter the top three on Billboard 200.

    Before this, TWICE member Nayeon's solo debut mini album IM NAYEON was the highest-ranked (No. 7) on this chart.

    Re-entering the chart on Monday, Indigo also marked its second non-consecutive week on Billboard 200, reported Soompi.
