BABYMONSTER is making new history as a rising K-pop star by entering the U.S. Billboard main chart with their debut album. According to the latest chart released by Billboard on social media on the 11th, U.S. local time, BABYMONSTER’s first full-length album ranked 149th on the ‘Billboard 200’. This is significant as it marks their first entry since debuting on one of Billboard’s major charts along with the ‘Hot 100’.
The ‘Billboard 200’ chart is an important indicator of fandom within the United States and influence in the global music market. The success achieved by BABYMONSTER, a rookie group that hasn’t even been officially debuted for eight months, is considered exceptional and is being highlighted as an example of their impact on the global music market.
BABYMONSTER’s popularity is not limited to the Billboard charts, as they are also making waves on various other global charts. This album has topped the iTunes album charts in 14 regions and secured the second position on the iTunes Worldwide Album Chart. Additionally, it claimed the number one spot on Japan’s major streaming site Line Music’s Album Top 100 real-time chart.
The growth trend continues on Spotify as well. One of the double title tracks, ‘DRIP’, has remained on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Global Chart for eight days, achieving its highest position at 109th.
BABYMONSTER’s achievements illustrate another example of K-pop’s global expansion, and their future endeavors are highly anticipated. Fans are eagerly watching to see how far their musical journey will go and are focused on their upcoming activities.
