The group ENHYPEN‘s second full-length album is drawing attention as it continues to heat up the US Billboard chart.
According to the latest chart (dated November 30th) released by the US music media Billboard on the 27th (Korean time), ENHYPEN’s second full-length album ‘Romance: Untold’ ranked 7th on the main album chart, ‘Billboard 200’.
It seems that the brisk sales of the second full-length album repackage released in North America on the 15th played a large role in the rise in the ranking as it led to the chart aggregate. The album previously ranked 2nd (dated July 27th) on the ‘Billboard 200’, the team‘s highest ranking, and has been on the chart for 13 weeks.
‘Romance: Untold’ proved ENHYPEN’s solid album power by sweeping the ‘Top 5’ of the Cebu Album Chart. The album ranked 3rd on the ‘World Albums’, and 4th on both the ‘Top Album Sales’ and ‘Top Current Album Sales’. Thanks to the popularity of the album, ENHYPEN jumped to 9th place on the ‘Artist 100’.
In addition, the title song ‘No Doubt’ from the regular 2nd repackaged album ranked 9th on the ‘World Digital Song Sales’, and 182nd on the ‘Global (Excluding the US)’.
Meanwhile, ‘Bite Me’, the title song of ENHYPEN‘s 4th mini album ‘DARK BLOOD’, is steadily gaining popularity in Japan. According to an announcement from the Recording Industry Association of Japan on the 27th, the song surpassed 50 million cumulative streams as of October and received ‘Gold’ certification. This is ENHYPEN’s second ‘Gold’ certification in the streaming category, following ‘Drunk-Dazed’.
