Baby Monster entered the U.S. Billboard main chart with its first full-length album.
According to the latest chart released by Billboard on the 11th (local time), Baby Monster's first regular album [DRIP] entered the Billboard 200 at 149th place. Along with the "Hot 100," he was named for the first time since his debut on the Billboard 200, which is considered one of the two main charts on Billboard.
In particular, the Billboard 200 is an indicator that can gauge the impact of local fandom in the U.S. and the global music market. It is a very unusual achievement considering that Baby Monster is a rookie who has yet to make his official debut for less than eight months.
Currently, Baby Monster stands out not only on Billboard but also on various global charts. The album topped the iTunes album chart in 14 regions and reached No. 2 on the iTunes Worldwide Albums chart. It also topped Japan's biggest streaming site Line Music Album Top 100 Real-Time Chart.
It is also a steady rise in Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform. "DRIP," one of the double title songs, continued its popularity by charting on the Spotify Daily Top Song Global Chart on the 8th and broke its own top ranking (109th) on the same day.
