Savage EP debuts at #20 on Billboard 200

Their first album did that!

blatant sajaegi for the mediaplay. Not even twice was able to do this before when they were more popular.

aespa's less than a year old too. They join ENHYPEN and TXT as the only groups to chart on BB200 in their debut year.

Because K-pop wasn't popular in the US in 2016.. only BTS and EXO were charting on BB200 5 years ago.

That's not my point. U didn't get it. These are not actual sales but kpop companies just blatantly pumping up numbers by distributing it in US. Twice got #200 and #72 in 2020. Are u also going to tell me kpop changed alot in just 1 year?

Sales not being counted before does not make sales being counted now fake

any negative opinion is discarded. it is what it is. CONGRATS AESPA

Not wasting my time giving you an actual reply, you're being dumb on purpose.

Twice also got #6 this year...the only thing that changed is JYP actually giving them proper and not delayed western distribution, which, bingo, Aespa also has.

The key to charting on BB200 is making albums available on Amazon/stores that count towards BB200. It's not "sajaegi" for companies to discover that lol

they're killing it

Wow. It's mindblowing. Congrats aespa.
