ENHYPEN has emerged as the most influential artist in the U.S. this week, sweeping five Billboard chart categories and securing a top position on the 'Billboard 200' with their latest release.
According to the latest Billboard charts dated January 31, ENHYPEN (members Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki) has claimed the No. 1 spot on the 'Artist 100'. This chart ranks artists based on a weighted score of music sales, streaming, radio airplay, and social media metrics. This marks the first time ENHYPEN has topped this influential chart.
Their mini-album 'THE SIN : VANISH', which debuted at No. 2 on the 'Billboard 200', showcased even more dominance on other charts. It claimed the No. 1 spot on 'Top Album Sales', 'Top Current Album Sales', and 'World Albums'. Additionally, the title track 'Knife' ranked No. 1 on 'World Digital Song Sales' and appeared at No. 62 and No. 90 on the 'Global (Excl. U.S.)' and 'Global 200' charts, respectively. Billboard noted that the tracks from 'THE SIN : VANISH' achieved a record-breaking 9.51 million streams during the tracking period.
ENHYPEN has now placed six consecutive albums in the 'Billboard 200' Top 10. Prior to 'THE SIN : VANISH', their mini-albums 'MANIFESTO : DAY 1' (No. 6), 'DARK BLOOD' (No. 4), 'ORANGE BLOOD' (No. 4), full album 'ROMANCE : UNTOLD' (No. 2), and mini-album 'DESIRE : UNLEASH' (No. 3) all reached the Top 10. The No. 2 debut of 'THE SIN : VANISH' was narrowly edged out by A$AP Rocky's 'Don't Be Dumb', which sold just 1,000 more copies.
With 'THE SIN : VANISH', ENHYPEN sold over 2.07 million copies globally in its first week, marking their fourth 'double million-seller'. The album topped the Hanteo Chart weekly album chart (January 12-18) with just three days of sales, and also claimed No. 1 on Japan's Line Music weekly 'Album Top 100' (January 14-20) and Oricon's daily album ranking (January 21).
Meanwhile, ENHYPEN is set to host a fan event titled 'VAMPIRE IS COMING' on January 30 at the COEX Auditorium in Seoul. The event will feature screenings of four chapter videos from 'THE SIN : VANISH' for their fans, known as ENGENE. The members will engage in heartfelt conversations with fans, offering an immersive experience into the album. 'VAMPIRE IS COMING' will also take place in Hong Kong on January 31 and Tokyo on February 14.
