“Love Yourself: Tear” took the sixth spot on Billboard 200, after it became the first K-pop album to take the No. 1 spot on the chart last week.

The Billboard 200 ranks the 200 most popular albums and EPs in the US, based on weekly sales in the country. The Billboard Hot 100 ranks singles by their popularity in the US based on radio airplay, digital sales and streaming in the country.

The most successful K-pop single to date on the Hot 100 is Psy’s “Gangnam Style,” which peaked at No. 2 and stayed on the chart for 31 weeks.
