The original soundtrack (OST) album featuring insert songs from the Netflix animation "K-pop Demon Hunters" ranked No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard main albums chart, down one spot from the previous week.
On Oct. 16 (local time), U.S. Billboard said in a chart preview article that the "K-pop Demon Hunters" OST followed pop star Taylor Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl," which has been No. 1 for six consecutive weeks, and Morgan Wallen's "I'm The Problem," which placed second.
The album, which topped the Billboard albums chart for the second time in total last month, yielded No. 1 to Swift's new release and then held No. 2 for five consecutive weeks.
Billboard 200 ranks albums by "album units," a sum of traditional album sales such as physical albums, streaming equivalent albums (SEA), which convert streams into album sales, and track equivalent albums (TEA), which convert digital track downloads into album sales.
The "K-pop Demon Hunters" OST logged album units equivalent to 75,000 copies during the latest chart tracking period, down 11% from the previous week.
Yeonjun of TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 with his first solo album "NO LABELS: PART 01."
The album posted 29,000 album units during the chart tracking period. With 27,000 in album sales, it was No. 1 on this week's Top Album Sales chart. SEA was 2,000, and TEA was negligible.
