PLAVE reaches a new peak on the Billboard 200 as “HYPERDRIVE” debuts at No. 31. The South Korean virtual boy group formed by Vlast surpasses its previous high of No. 145, set with “Caligo Pt.2.”
That earlier EP marked PLAVE’s first appearance on the U.S. chart. “HYPERDRIVE” now brings the group its second entry and its first spot in the top 40.
01No. 1 on three Billboard charts
“HYPERDRIVE” also debuts at No. 1 on both Top Album Sales and World Albums. Its Top Album Sales position makes it the week’s best-selling album in the United States, a distinction separate from its Billboard 200 ranking.
PLAVE also returns to two artist charts, re-entering Emerging Artists at No. 1 and Artist 100 at No. 25.
These U.S. chart results come alongside a new sales record in South Korea. “HYPERDRIVE” sold more than 1.32 million copies in South Korea during its first week, marking PLAVE’s biggest sales debut in the country.
