ENHYPEN has finally reached the top of the Billboard 200 — and the milestone extends an extraordinary three-week run for K-pop on America's biggest album chart.
ENHYPEN's eighth mini album, “THE SIN : BLISS,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for the chart dated September 5, giving the group its first-ever No. 1 album in the United States.
ENHYPEN Scores Its First Billboard 200 No. 1
“THE SIN : BLISS” earned 98,000 equivalent album units during its first tracking week in the United States.
Of that total, an impressive 92,000 units came from traditional album sales, making it the bestselling album of the week in the U.S.
The remaining 6,000 streaming-equivalent album units represented approximately 6.91 million on-demand audio streams during the tracking period.
The achievement comes nearly six years after ENHYPEN's debut in November 2020.
ENHYPEN Had Come Close Before
The group has been steadily climbing toward the top of the Billboard 200.
“ROMANCE : UNTOLD” reached No. 2 in 2024, while “THE SIN : VANISH” also peaked at No. 2 earlier this year.
“THE SIN : BLISS” finally takes ENHYPEN all the way to No. 1.
It also becomes the group's seventh consecutive Top 10 album on the Billboard 200.
K-Pop Has Now Ruled the Billboard 200 for Three Straight Weeks
ENHYPEN's victory is part of an even bigger K-pop story.
Three K-pop acts have now taken turns at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for three consecutive weeks.
Stray Kids topped the chart with “THIS & THAT”, followed by KATSEYE's “WILD”, and now ENHYPEN's “THE SIN : BLISS.”
And K-pop continues to have a major presence throughout this week's Top 10: KATSEYE remains at No. 6 while Stray Kids sits at No. 8.
“Bloody Paradise” Sets New Billboard Records Too
ENHYPEN isn't only breaking records on the album charts.
The mini album's title track, “Bloody Paradise,” has given the group several new career highs on Billboard's global song charts.
The song debuted at No. 12 on Global Excl. U.S. and No. 32 on the Billboard Global 200.
That makes “Bloody Paradise” ENHYPEN's first Top 40 entry on the Global 200 and the group's highest ranking to date on both global charts.
It also debuted at No. 23 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100, marking ENHYPEN's first appearance on that chart.

“THE SIN : BLISS” Is Already a Double-Million Seller
The album's performance isn't limited to the United States.
“THE SIN : BLISS” surpassed 2.02 million copies in cumulative sales within its first week of release.
The 10-track project is the second installment in ENHYPEN's “THE SIN” series and continues the group's dark fantasy storyline centered around forbidden love, vampires and the consequences of breaking a taboo.
ENHYPEN Joins an Exclusive K-Pop Club
With the achievement, ENHYPEN joins a relatively small group of K-pop acts that have reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
The milestone also highlights how dramatically K-pop's presence in the U.S. album market has expanded.
Three different K-pop acts occupying the top position in three consecutive weeks would have seemed extraordinary only a few years ago.
In 2026, it's becoming another sign of just how firmly Korean pop music has established itself in the world's largest music market.
