The boys sold 6,000 copies of their 2nd album 'EXODUS' during the week ending on April 5 in North America, a new feat for a Kpop album. So, what does this mean for them on the charts in combination with their streaming counts?
This means they've established themselves as the highest charting domestic male group to date on Billboard's main music chart, Billboard 200, at #90! As if it that wasn't enough, 'EXODUS' also ranked #70 in the Top Album Sales chart.
For other notable comparisons, Taeyang holds the highest ranked album for a domestic solo male artist with 'Rise' at 112 back in 2014. His labelmate, 2NE1, however, still holds the title of the highest charting Kpop act (male and female combined), debuting at #61 on Billboard 200.
Billboard also mentioned that this is EXO's second consecutive #1 ranking on Billboard's World Albums Chart, and nine of their songs from 'EXODUS' are ranked in the World Digital Songs chart, with their title track "Call Me Baby" ranked at number 2.
Congratulations to EXO and EXO-L's on this achievement!
