This week, after its first online concert last month, K-pop girl group BLACKPINK's debut album bounced big on Billboards' main list.
On the Billboard 200 List revised on Tuesday (U.S.), 'The Album' resurfaced to No. 59, up to 89 points a week earlier.
The pop group has remained on the chart since their debut at No. 2, in October, and has been making history as a South Korean girl group for the 18th consecutive week.
The album also turned up to No. 32 of Rolling Stone's Top 200 Albums Chart in US music for the week of January 29 through February 4 and reached 153 spots in just 7 days.
The climb marked the third-largest week-to-week increase in chart history, Rolling Stone said, as a result of the success of the group's online concert that took place on January 31 together with YouTube.
Around 280,000 people, including those from Thailand, the Philippines, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Southern Korea, signed up to attend the 'The Show' online concert.
According to YG Entertainment, 19.2 percent of subscribers based in the US represented the largest share.
The first full-length album since its debut in 2016, "The Album," released on Oct 2. The main track "Lovesick Girls," and "How You Like That" and "Ice Cream" feat. Selena Gomez is included.
