Aug 19, 2023

Billboard has published its World Albums chart for the week ending on August 19!

NewJeans’s new mini album “Get Up” spent its third consecutive week at No. 1 on the World Albums chart, in addition to spending a third consecutive week in the top 12 of the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, the group’s self-titled debut EP “New Jeans” also spent its 33rd non-consecutive on the World Albums chart at No. 10.

ITZY’s new mini album “KILL MY DOUBT” debuted at No. 2 on the World Albums chart this week, and it also entered the Billboard 200—making ITZY only the second K-pop girl group in history to land five different albums on the chart.

TXT’s new Japanese album “SWEET” entered the World Albums chart at No. 3, and it also became the group’s third Japanese album to debut on the Billboard 200—an especially impressive feat considering that TXT is currently one of only two Korean artists (the other being BTS) ever to enter the chart with a Japanese album.

Stray Kids’ latest album “★★★★★ (5-STAR)” stayed strong at No. 4 in its 10th consecutive week on the World Albums chart, in addition to becoming the group’s first album ever to spend 10 weeks on the Billboard 200.

ENHYPEN’s latest mini album “DARK BLOOD”came in at No. 6 in its 11th consecutive week on the World Albums chart, followed by LE SSERAFIM’s first studio album “UNFORGIVEN” at No. 7 (in its 15th week) and aespa’s “MY WORLD” at No. 8 (in its sixth).

Meanwhile, xikers’ new mini album “HOUSE OF TRICKY : HOW TO PLAY” debuted at No. 9 on this week’s chart.

BTS’s Jimin’s solo debut album “FACE” spent its 20th consecutive week on the chart at No. 11, while BTS’s 2022 anthology album “Proof” held steady at No. 13 in its 61st week.

Finally, TWICE’s “READY TO BE” maintained its position at No. 12 in its 22nd week on the chart, with SEVENTEEN’s “FML” trailing close behind at No. 14 in its 16th week.

Congratulations to all of the artists!
