The global dominance of K-pop remains evident as BTS continues to lead the all-genre album chart despite a significant drop in second-week sales units.
Ye's debut at No. 2 marks his 14th top 10 album, though his performance was overshadowed by the ongoing controversies surrounding his public remarks.
Other notable debuts in the top 10 include Melanie Martinez and Yeat, reflecting a diverse week for the music industry.
Billboard officials noted that streaming remains the primary driver for these high-ranking positions.
