Fan favourite and the one that put them on the international radar, Wings continues to set the standard for BTS albums. With stunning and dark visuals this is really one of the BTS best comeback and it truly stands out.
Their iconic single- Blood, Sweat & Tears is still incredibly popular among fans and non-fans alike. It was the same year that BTS made their first appearance at the BBMAs where they won Top Social Artist beating the likes of Justin Bieber.
The repackaged version “You never walk alone” included four additional tracks including “Spring Day”. This song added a whole different vibe to their musicality. It opened up a new chapter in terms of BTS’ aesthetics. In fact every time BTS release a new song Spring day manages to crawl its way back on the charts. The tour that followed this album proved to be significantly larger than their previous one. They began performing in larger venues, visited more countries, began performing more than one show due to the increased demand
3. Love yourself series
Carrying on the success from Wings, BTS entered a new era with Love Yourself. The first of the series was Love yourself : Her which included hit songs DNA, Mic Drop and Best of Me which featured the Chainsmokers. Following this Mic Drop remix was released in two version one with Steve Aoki and another with Steve Aoki and rapper Desiigner.
DNA made history in South Korea by breaking a 16-year-old record. By the end of November 2017, BTS became the first Korean artist to perform at the American Music Awards. Undoubtedly, among one of BTS Best Comebacks.
When Love Yourself: Tear came out it was their best selling album. It became their first album to debut at no.1 on the US Billboard 200.

Simultaneously BTS also began their Love Myself campaign with UNICEF. This era proved to be a landmark one for the boy band. Their fanbase expanded enormously during this era.
4. The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt 1 (Hwayangyeonhwa)
Until this album BTS had an image of being a primarily hip hop group. However HYYH made their sound more diverse. With this album they aimed to talk about the beauty of “youth”. As young men themselves, they spoke about the anxiousness and uplifting sides that came with growth.
The lead single “I Need U” was BTS’ first top five hit in Korea. It put BTS on the map in South Korea. Ironically the second single “Dope” peaked only at 44 in Korea but number three on Billboard’s World Digital Song Chart.
It also became the first music video to accumulate over 100 million views on Youtube. This album was the one that pushed BTS towards fame. We will be sinning if we did not include this as one of the BTS best comeback.
