82MAJOR, the rookie group from Great M Entertainment, has made its mark on the Billboard charts just one year after debuting.

According to U.S. music media outlet Billboard on November 5th, 82MAJOR's second mini-album X-82, released on October 15th, entered the Album Sales chart at 45th place. 

The group also charted at 37th on Current Album Sales, 24th on the Emerging Artists chart, and 15th on the World Sales chart, setting an unprecedented career milestone.

Additionally, U.S. chart analysis platform Luminate revealed that 82MAJOR placed 5th on the Top New Artist Albums chart, 13th on the Record Label Independent Current Albums chart, and 36th on the Heatseekers Albums chart. These achievements demonstrate the group's growing recognition, even in the U.S. market, just one year after their debut.

This Billboard entry is particularly significant as 82MAJOR hails from a smaller, new entertainment agency. Their success showcases their talent and ability to establish themselves with their skills, rather than relying on a major agency’s influence.


Prior to their Billboard debut, 82MAJOR gained attention for their talent and potential, receiving shoutouts and digital cover features from U.S. hip-hop magazines and international media outlets. Their overseas activities have been gaining traction, and their Billboard chart success cements their growing presence in the global market.

The group has also been involved in the creative process of their albums, participating in the writing and composing of tracks for both their debut mini-album BEAT by 82 and their latest release X-82

Their title track Stuck has been especially popular, with its cinematic music video garnering over 11 million views within a week, drawing attention from both domestic and international fans.
