Here Are All the K-pop Albums That Have Topped the Billboard 200: Full List

Stray Kids’ new album KARMA puts K-pop back in a familiar spot – No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. By debuting at No. 1 on the chart dated Sept. 6, KARMA becomes the 20th album or EP by a K-pop act to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The first was BTS’ Love Yourself: Tear in June 2018.

Stray Kids has amassed seven No. 1 titles on the Billboard 200, which puts them out front among K-pop acts. BTS is in second place, with six No. 1 titles. ATEEZ is next in line with two No. 1s on the Billboard 200. SuperM, BLACKPINK, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, NewJeans and TWICE have all notched one No. 1 to date.

BLACKPINK was the first female K-pop act to land a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. They scored with Born Pink in 2022. NewJeans and TWICE were the second and third.

K-pop groups tend to be large ensembles. TWICE has nine members, one more than Stray Kids and ATEEZ. BTS and SuperM each have seven members. TOMORROW X TOGETHER and NewJeans each have five members. BLACKPINK has four members. To date, no K-pop solo artists, duos or trios have topped the Billboard 200.

There have been multiple No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 by K-pop acts in every year since 2018 except for 2021, when there were none, and 2025, when there has been just one so far. The peak year (to date) for most No. 1 K-pop albums on the Billboard 200 was 2023, when there were five. There were four in 2022 and four again in 2024.

Here’s a list of all K-pop albums to top the Billboard 200. They are listed in chronological order.
