Blackpink’s new studio album “Born Pink” has claimed the top position on Billboard’s main albums chart, becoming the first album by a female K-pop act to achieve the feat.

According to the U.S. music chart services provider on Sunday, the quartet sold 102-thousand album-equivalent units during a week-long period since its release on September 16 and debuted at Number One on the “Billboard 200” albums chart.

The eight-song album is the first Number One on the chart by an all-female group since U.S. group Danity Kane’s “Welcome to the Dollhouse” in April of 2008, and makes Blackpink the fourth K-pop act to top the Billboard 200 following three boy bands – BTS, SuperM and Stray Kids.

Blackpink had previously climbed as high as Number Two on the same Billboard chart with its first full-length album, “The Album,” in October 2020.

The Billboard 200 chart determines the most popular weekly albums based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, including album sales, track equivalent albums and streaming equivalent albums.
