LOS ANGELES — K-Pop powerhouse ENHYPEN has cemented its status as a global force, claiming the coveted No. 1 spot on the Billboard Artist 100 chart, making them the most influential artist in the United States for the past week. This marks a significant milestone for the septet (Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Niki), showcasing their rapidly expanding impact across the North American music landscape.
According to Billboard’s latest charts dated January 31, ENHYPEN’s ascension to the Artist 100 pinnacle is a testament to their comprehensive success. The chart’s methodology aggregates various metrics, including album and song sales, online streaming figures, radio airplay, and social media engagement, applying a weighted score to reflect an artist’s overall pop culture influence. This is the first time ENHYPEN has topped this definitive chart, signaling a new peak in their career trajectory.
Their latest release, the 7th Mini Album “THE SIN : VANISH,” made a powerful debut at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, but its presence was even more formidable across the detailed sub-charts. The album dominated, securing No. 1 positions on the Top Album Sales, Top Current Album Sales, and World Album charts. The title track, “Knife,” also proved its global appeal, topping the World Digital Song Sales chart and charting at No. 62 on the Global (Excl. US) and No. 90 on the Global 200 charts. Billboard specifically highlighted the album’s impressive streaming performance, stating that “THE SIN : VANISH” accumulated a total of 9.51 million official streams for its tracks during the tracking period, setting a new personal best for the group.
This latest achievement also extends ENHYPEN’s remarkable streak of Billboard 200 “Top 10” entries to six consecutive albums. Prior to “THE SIN : VANISH,” the group saw their 3rd Mini Album “MANIFESTO : DAY 1” (No. 6), 4th Mini Album “DARK BLOOD” (No. 4), 5th Mini Album “ORANGE BLOOD” (No. 4), 2nd Full Album “ROMANCE :UNTOLD” (No. 2), and 6th Mini Album “DESIRE : UNLEASH” (No. 3) all land within the top tier. The narrow margin for “THE SIN : VANISH”‘s No. 2 debut is particularly notable, trailing only by approximately 1,000 units behind American rap titan A$AP Rocky’s 4th full-length album, “Don’t Be Dumb,” his first release in nearly eight years.
“THE SIN : VANISH” has also achieved significant commercial success beyond the U.S. borders. The album sold over 2.07 million copies in its first week both domestically and internationally, marking ENHYPEN’s fourth “double million-seller” album to date. It swiftly claimed the top spot on Korea’s Hanteo Chart Weekly Album Chart (January 12-18) with just three days of sales data, and also dominated Japan’s Line Music Weekly ‘Album Top 100’ (January 14-20) and the Oricon Daily Album Ranking (January 21).
In celebration of their latest record-breaking success, ENHYPEN is set to host a special fan event titled “VAMPIRE IS COMING” at the COEX Auditorium in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on January 30. The event is designed to allow the members to delve into the four thematic chapters of “THE SIN : VANISH” with their dedicated fanbase, ENGENE. Through candid conversations, the members aim to provide fans with a deeper, more immersive understanding of the album’s concept and creation. Following the Seoul event,
