K-pop fans, the charts are officially ours. Billboard just dropped the **World Albums** chart for the week ending May 30, 2026, and it’s a full-blown takeover. CORTIS’s “GREENGREEN” spent a second week at No. 1 while their debut EP “COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES” held at No. 11 — marking the group’s first album with multiple weeks in the Billboard 200 top 30.

Right behind them? &TEAM’s “We on Fire” debuted at No. 2 (their first-ever Billboard 200 entry), and NMIXX’s “Heavy Serenade” powered to No. 3 in just its second week, becoming their fourth Billboard 200 title.

It also follows their [Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2026 honor](https://technosports.co.in/idol-forbes-30-under-30/) alongside NMIXX and (G)I-DLE — plus recent wins like [aespa’s LEMONADE sales explosion](https://technosports.co.in/aespa-lemonade-itunes-sales/) and [Stray Kids’ “Easy” hitting 100 million views](https://technosports.co.in/stray-kids-easy-100-million-views/).

Even amid challenges like [(G)I-DLE’s Shuhua sitting out Sydney](https://technosports.co.in/gidle-shuhua-sydney-concert-illness/), the genre’s momentum is unstoppable.
