Allkpop needs to change some of the info in this article. Lay is considered a solo artist and this album is in English and Mandarin Chinese. This is a victory for M-Pop (Mandarin-Pop), not K-Pop. Billboard has an article about his BB200 debut charting success and how this is relevant for M-Pop. https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/k-town/.... Edit - Soompi has managed to avoid the confusion by calling RM the highest ranking Korean solo artist. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that! Congratulations RM on a job well done. Congratulations to Lay on being the highest ranking Chinese artist ever on the Billboard 200, your fans are cheering you on!
