NCT 127 has just scored their second top 3 album on the Billboard 200!
On September 25 local time, Billboard announced that NCT 127’s new studio album “2 Baddies” had debuted at No. 3 on its famous Top 200 Albums chart, its weekly ranking of the most popular albums in the United States.
With this achievement, NCT 127 has become only the second K-pop artist in history to chart three albums in the top five of the Billboard 200, following BTS.
NCT 127 previously entered the top five with their 2020 album “Neo Zone” (which debuted at No. 5) and their 2021 album “Sticker” (which peaked at No. 3). “2 Baddies” is also the group’s fifth entry on the chart overall.

The album’s total score consisted of 55,000 traditional album sales and 3,000 streaming equivalent album (SEA) units—which translates to 3.85 million on-demand audio streams over the course of the week.
