Billboard’s published ranking places No. 9 outside the groups covered in the report, so it’s left out here.
The Stories Behind the Numbers
- BOYNEXTDOOR re-entered at No. 3 after their repackaged “HOME: DELUXE” release. “HOME” also returned to the Billboard 200, making it their first album to chart for more than one week.
- &TEAM took the top spot last week, their first ever, then slipped to No. 4.
- ALPHA DRIVE ONE debuted at No. 5 with “UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST.”
- CORTIS held two spots at once, which shows real staying power.
Old Favorites Still Charting
Longevity is the quiet star here. BTS’s “Love Yourself: Answer” re-entered at No. 15, marking an incredible 205th week on the chart. NewJeans’ “Get Up” sits at No. 20 in its 161st week.
