Billboard has published its World Albums chart for the week ending on July 20!
aespa’s first full-length album “Armageddon” shot to No. 1 on the World Albums chart following its physical release in the United States, marking its seventh overall week on the chart. (Although “Armageddon” was originally released in Korea and on digital platforms in May, the physical version of the album was only released in the United States on July 5.) “Armageddon” also entered the Billboard 200 for the first time this week, making aespa the first K-pop girl group in history to chart five albums in the top 40.
After four non-consecutive weeks at No. 1, ATEEZ’s latest mini album “GOLDEN HOUR : Part.1” fell to No. 2 on the World Albums chart. The mini album also climbed back up the Billboard 200 for the second consecutive week, making it ATEEZ’s first album to spend six weeks in the top 100.
BTS’ Suga’s 2023 solo album “D-DAY” (which was released under the stage name Agust D) re-entered the World Albums chart at No. 3 following its recent release on vinyl, marking its 13th non-consecutive week on the chart. “D-DAY” also returned to the Billboard 200 for a sixth non-consecutive week on the main U.S. albums chart.
Meanwhile, TXT’s “minisode 3: TOMORROW” stayed strong at No. 6 in its 15th consecutive week on the World Albums chart.
TWICE’s Nayeon’s second solo mini album “NA” took No. 7 in its fourth week on the chart, while SEVENTEEN’s best-of album “17 IS RIGHT HERE” claimed No. 8 in its 11th week.
BTS’s 2022 anthology album “Proof” continued its impressive run on the chart by ranking No. 10 in its 109th week.
ILLIT’s “SUPER REAL ME” came in at No. 12 in its 16th week on the chart, followed by NewJeans’ 2023 mini album “Get Up” at No. 13 in its 51st week.
Finally, BTS’s Jimin’s solo debut album “FACE” held relatively steady at No. 14 in its 62nd week on the chart.
Congratulations to all of the artists!
