After a six-week winning streak at the top of Billboard’s World Albums chart, Stray Kids relinquished their leading spot. The JYP Entertainment boy group’s latest mini album, “ATE,” now ranks #2 in its seventh week on the top-charting roster, according to the latest Billboard update following the week’s culmination on September 14.

HYBE Labels’ LE SSERAFIM swooped in for the dominating post with its new mini album, “CRAZY”, debuting at #1. The K-pop girl group’s newest musical offering also became their third album in a row to be included in Billboard 200’s Top 10.

KQ Entertainment’s ATEEZ was the only group from a non-Big-4 company to make it to the Top 15 roster this week. The eight-member boy band’s inclusion marked a special re-entry of its tenth mini-album, “Golden Hour: Part 1,” at #15, extending its 13th non-consecutive week journey.

HYBE Labels' artists (excluding some exceptions) led the chart this week

All other musical releases listed in the Top 15 World Albums chart came from one or the other HYBE Labels artist. Trailing behind Stray Kids, BTS’ Jimin took third place for his solo album “MUSE.” This marked its seventh week on these rankings. Jimin’s “MUSE” also became his first solo album to stay on the Billboard 200 chart for seven weeks.

ENHYPEN’s “Romance: Untold,” released in July 2024, stood at #4 in its eighth week. BTS’ unbelievable trajectory on the World Albums chart continued in its 117th week as the global sensation’s 2022 anthology album, “Proof,” rose to #7.

Although primarily dominated by boy groups, the World Albums chart made way for SM Entertainment’s aespa as the third girl group in the Top 15, all thanks to their first regular album, “Armageddon,” coming in at #9 for its 15th week.

Like ATEEZ’s latest album, TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s “minisode 3: TOMORROW” jumped back into the race again at #11 for its 21st non-consecutive week. NewJeans’ “Get Up” sat #14 in its 58th week.
