Red Velvet Enters Billboard 200 and Artist 100

On August 12 local time, Billboard announced that Red Velvet’s latest mini album ‘Cosmic’ had officially entered the Billboard 200 chart, which ranks the most popular albums in the United States each week. This marks a significant achievement for the group, as it is their first time ever appearing on this prestigious chart.

Although ‘Cosmic’ was initially released in Korea and on digital platforms back in June, the physical version of the album was made available in the United States on August 2. Despite the gap between its digital and physical releases, the album’s impact was substantial. For the week ending on August 17, ‘Cosmic’ debuted at No. 145 on the Billboard 200, signaling Red Velvet’s growing influence in the global music scene.

In addition to their Billboard 200 success, ‘Cosmic’ also made a strong showing on several other Billboard charts. The mini album debuted at No. 6 on both the Top Album Sales chart and the Top Current Album Sales chart, making it the sixth best-selling album of the week in the United States. Furthermore, ‘Cosmic’ entered the World Albums chart at No. 4 and the Independent Albums chart at No. 20, further demonstrating Red Velvet’s international appeal and solidifying their status as one of K-pop’s leading acts.

Moreover, Red Velvet made their first-ever appearance on the Billboard Artist 100, debuting at No. 44. The Artist 100 chart measures an artist’s performance across various Billboard charts, including the Hot 100, Billboard 200, and Social 50, providing a comprehensive overview of an artist’s impact in the music industry. Red Velvet’s entry into the Artist 100 underscores their growing popularity and influence not only in Korea but also on the global stage.

This series of accomplishments marks an exciting new chapter for Red Velvet, as they continue to expand their reach and captivate audiences worldwide. Congratulations to Red Velvet on these remarkable achievements!
