Le Sserafim Makes History with 'UNFORGIVEN,' Landing in 11 Billboard Chart Categories and Breaking Into 'Billboard 200' Top 10
K-pop top player Le Sserafim has set a new personal best by making their mark in 11 categories on the U.S. Billboard chart.
According to the latest chart released by U.S. music media Billboard on May 16 (local time), Le Sserafim's first full-length album 'UNFORGIVEN' debuted at number 6 on the 'Billboard 200', and also seized first place on 'World Albums', second place on 'Top Album Sales' and 'Top Current Album Sales', eighth place on 'Tastemaker Albums', and 63rd on 'Canadian Albums'.
The title track 'UNFORGIVEN (feat. Nile Rodgers)' secured seventh place on 'World Digital Song Sales', 14th on 'Billboard Global (excluding U.S.)', 23rd on 'Billboard Global 200', and 92nd on 'Canadian Hot 100'. Moreover, Le Sserafim refreshed their personal record by ranking sixth on 'Artist 100'. The previous highest position was 39, revealing the group's rapid growth.
In particular, by rising to sixth place on the main album chart 'Billboard 200', Le Sserafim has made a splash by entering the 'Top 10' in the shortest time in K-pop girl group history. They made new history once again following their previous record of entering the chart at 14th place with their second mini-album 'ANTIFRAGILE' (November 15th, 2022), which was the fastest for a K-pop girl group at the time.
Le Sserafim has demonstrated their growing stature by setting new records in Korea, the U.S., and Japan with this album. 'UNFORGIVEN' surpassed 1.25 million initial sales (the album sales within a week from the release date) according to the Korean Hanteo Chart, achieving the fastest million-seller record among K-pop girl groups. Moreover, the album ranked first on the Japanese Oricon chart's weekly album ranking, weekly digital album ranking, and weekly combined album ranking on the 15th. This is the first time this year that a foreign female artist has achieved a triple crown on the Oricon weekly rankings.
With a commanding presence on global music charts just one year after their debut, Le Sserafim is attracting the attention of music fans worldwide.
