[Edaily Starin KIM HYUNSIK Reporter] Boy band ENHYPEN (Jeongwon, Jay, Jake, Seonghun, Seonwoo, Niki) has topped the Billboard 200, Billboard’s main album chart, for the first time. This marks the first time a K-pop album has held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for three consecutive weeks.

On the 30th (local time), Billboard announced in a chart preview article posted on its official website that ENHYPEN’s eighth mini-album, “THE SIN : BLISS,” had reached No. 1 on the latest Billboard 200 chart (dated September 5).
The Billboard 200 is a chart that ranks the most popular albums in the U.S. over a one-week period. Rankings are determined by “album units,” which are calculated by combining physical album sales, streaming equivalents (SEA)—a metric that converts streaming counts into album sales—and digital track equivalents (TEA)—a metric that converts digital track downloads into album sales.
“The XIN: BLISS” claimed the No. 1 spot by recording 98,000 album units during the tracking period. Of these, 92,000 were physical album sales. SEA accounted for 6,000 units, while TEA was negligible.
This marks the first time ENHYPEN, a group under HYBE’s Belief Lab label, has reached the top of the Billboard 200 since their debut in 2020. Their previous highest ranking was No. 2, achieved with “ROMANCE: UNTOLD” (released in July 2024) and “THE SIN: VANISH” (released last January).
“THE SIN : BLISS” is the new album ENHYPEN released on the 21st. Featuring 10 tracks, including the title track “Bloody Paradise,” the album explores the journey of a couple who have broken taboos and chosen to flee, as they come to realize that simply being together is a blessing.
According to Hanteo Chart, a domestic album sales tracking site, the album’s first-week sales totaled 2,099,048 copies. With this achievement, ENHYPEN has increased the number of their albums to have sold over 2 million copies to five.
Meanwhile, with ENHYPEN’s *The X: Bliss* reaching No. 1, a K-pop album has topped the Billboard 200 for three consecutive weeks. Following Stray Kids’ “THIS & THAT” (dated August 22), which previously claimed the No. 1 spot, CAT’s “WILD” (dated August 29) took the baton, and now ENHYPEN’s album has reached the top.
The total number of K-pop albums to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this year has now risen to five. In March, BTS topped the chart with “ARIRANG,” and last month, ATEEZ claimed the No. 1 spot with “GOLDEN HOUR: Part.5.”
To date, a total of 10 K-pop groups have reached the top of the Billboard 200. Among boy groups, BTS, SuperM, Stray Kids, ATEEZ, Tomorrow X Together, and ENHYPEN have reached the top, while among girl groups, BLACKPINK, NewJeans, TWICE, and CAT’S EYE have claimed the No. 1 spot.
In addition, the soundtrack album for the Netflix animated series *K-Pop Demon Hunters*, classified as a K-pop album, has also topped the Billboard 200.
