Korean artists occupy many of the leading positions on Billboard’s latest World Albums chart, with ENHYPEN’s new mini album THE SIN : BLISS debuting at No. 1 for the week ending September 5. The release also became ENHYPEN’s first album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200, giving the group a simultaneous milestone across the two rankings.
Stray Kids held No. 2 on World Albums with THIS & THAT in its third week, while CORTIS ranked No. 3 with GREENGREEN. ATEEZ stayed at No. 4 with GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5. BTS placed three albums on the chart, including Proof at No. 5, Map of the Soul: 7 ~The Journey~ at No. 10 and Love Yourself: Tear at No. 25.
The breadth extends further down the ranking. LE SSERAFIM held No. 8 with PUREFLOW, aespa rose to No. 11 with LEMONADE, ILLIT moved to No. 12 with MAMIHLAPINATAPAI, NewJeans reached No. 16 with Get Up and TXT member Yeonjun ranked No. 19 with NO LABELS: PART 02.
A broad Korean presence across the ranking
Rather than reflecting a single release, the chart shows sustained catalog and current-release activity across several Korean acts at once. The next weekly ranking will show which of these titles can maintain or improve their positions and whether ENHYPEN can extend its new No. 1 run.
