The Billboard 200 chart is a weekly chart that ranks the top 200 albums and EPs in the United States in that week and it is based on physical and digital sales. Because it’s an American chart, it’s pretty difficult for albums of another nation to rank on it at all, let alone make it into the top placements, but there have been some K-Pop albums that have managed just that!
K-Pop first managed to make it onto the Billboard chart in 2009 when BoA‘s self-titled album ranked at #127, and each year there are more and more K-Pop albums that made it into the list. Here are all 14 K-Pop albums that managed to make it onto this highly coveted chart in 2020, listed by their charting date!
