Here Are All the K-pop Albums That Have Topped the Billboard 200: Full List
ENHYPHEN’s THE SIN: BLISS puts K-pop back in a familiar spot — No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. The EP is the 26th album or EP by a K-pop act to reach No. 1 on Billboard’s flagship albums chart in just over eight years. The first was BTS’ Love Yourself: Tear in June 2018.
Stray Kids has amassed nine No. 1 titles on the Billboard 200, which puts them out front among K-pop acts. BTS is second, with seven No. 1 titles. ATEEZ is next in line with three No. 1s. SuperM, BLACKPINK, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, NewJeans, TWICE and ENHYPHEN have all notched one No. 1 to date. In addition, one multi-artist K-pop soundtrack, KPop Demon Hunters, has reached No. 1.
BLACKPINK was the first female K-pop act to land a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. They scored with Born Pink in 2022. They were followed by NewJeans and TWICE.
K-pop groups tend to be large ensembles. TWICE has nine members, one more than Stray Kids and ATEEZ. BTS has seven members, as did SuperM, which went on hiatus in mid-2021. ENHYPHEN has six members. TOMORROW X TOGETHER and NewJeans each have five members. BLACKPINK has four members. To date, no K-pop solo artists, duos or trios have topped the Billboard 200.
There have been multiple No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 by K-pop acts in every year since 2018 except for 2021, when there were none. The peak year (to date) for most No. 1 K-pop albums on the Billboard 200 was 2023, when there were five. (We’re up to four for 2026 so far.)
Here’s a list of all K-pop albums to top the Billboard 200. They are listed in chronological order.
