The latest album from K-pop superstars Big Bang made it on to the Billboard 200 album chart for the second time in their career.
The boy bandโs third full-length studio album, โMADE the Full Album,โ was released last week and debuted at 172 on the music chart. They previously landed on the prestigious list with their EP โAliveโ four years ago.
Additionally, the record is at the top of Billboardโs World Albums chart and the Heatseekers Albums list as well. On World Digital Song Sales, the groupโs newest songs (โFxxk It,โ โLast Dance,โ and โGirlfriendโ) included in the album were able to take second, third and fourth place.
An article from Billboard published on Monday described the record as having โarguably one of the most grand rollouts for a full-length in recent memory,โ referring to the groupโs periodic releases of nine of the eleven songs on the record starting in May 2015.
The chart-topping record is still leading the local music charts eight days after its release, with their lead single topping music sites such as Melon and Naver Music.
The group is set to hold a performance at SBSโ upcoming year-end music special โ2016 SAF Gayo Daejeon.โ Band leader G-Dragon will also hold a hip-hop performance with labelmate rapper CL, along with two other yet-to-be announced rappers.
