Three K-pop acts have taken turns topping the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart over the past three weeks.

A Billboard chart preview released on Aug. 30 said ENHYPEN's eighth EP "The Sin: Bliss" debuted at No. 1 on the chart for the week of Sept. 5.

This was preceded on Aug. 22 by Stray Kids' EP "This & That" and Aug. 29 by KATSEYE's "Wild."

This was ENHYPEN's first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since the boy band's debut in 2020.

As the second in "The Sin" series, "Bliss" depicts a "paradoxical romance" between a vampire and a human who eloped in the first installment despite a taboo and confronting their fate.

The Billboard 200 compiles its rankings based on album units, which combines physical and digital sales with streaming and download figures. "The Sin: Bliss" sold 98,000 units over its weekly tracking period.
