K-pop sensation BOYNEXTDOOR has shattered their previous records on the U.S. Billboard charts.

Billboard, the leading American music publication, unveiled its latest chart on Tuesday, revealing that BOYNEXTDOOR’s debut full-length album HOME has made a spectacular entry at No. 16 on the Billboard 200, the industry’s main album chart. The six-member group consists of Sungho, Riwoo, Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, and Woonhak.

This impressive feat marks a significant 24-spot leap from their previous release, The Action, which peaked at No. 40, setting a new career high for the rising stars.

With this achievement, BOYNEXTDOOR has now charted on the Billboard 200 for an impressive six consecutive releases. Their chart history includes their mini-albums WHY.. (No. 162), HOW? (No. 93), 19.99 (No. 40), No Genre (No. 62), and The Action (No. 40).

The group’s success extends beyond the main chart. Their latest album claimed the top spot on the World Albums chart and debuted at No. 2 on the Top Album Sales chart, which tracks the best-selling physical albums in the U.S. over a week. This placement surpasses their previous best of No. 3 with the mini-album No Genre, marking another career milestone. Additionally, BOYNEXTDOOR entered the Artist 100 chart at No. 28.

BOYNEXTDOOR, who debuted in May 2023, has quickly become one of K-pop’s most promising acts. They’ve captivated audiences with hits like “But Sometimes,” “Earth, Wind and Fire,” “IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU,” “I Feel Good,” and “Hollywood Action.” The group is currently promoting their latest single “VIRAL,” released on June 8, further cementing their rising status in the global music scene.
