"Boast" and "career" are two separate words here and they are not necessarily used together often. To "boast" in this context means to possess something in a prideful way, while the word "career" refers to the albums they've produced throughout their "career" as a band. So the sentence here means that BTS possess four No. 1 albums in the billboard 100 chart throughout their career.
