Boy band EXO’s new LP, “Exodus,” has landed at No. 95 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart to become the highest-charting K-pop album by male artists.
Some 6,000 copies of “Exodus,” released on March 30, were sold in the first week of April.
The count edges 2NE1’s record of 5,000 copies sold in the week ending March 2, 2014, but the four-member girl group’s “Crush” continues to hold the record for highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 at No. 61.
EXO’s Billboard 200 rank has broken the record the 10-member band set last year when its EP “Overdose” hit No. 129 after selling 3,000 copies.
EXO’s second full-length album has earned them a second consecutive No. 1 on Billboard’s World Album chart, and their title song, “Call Me Baby,” checked in at No. 2 on the World Digital Songs chart.
