GOT7 Jackson just made it to the top 10 of Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart for the first time with his new song "Alone"!
The Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart provides weekly rankings of the 25 singles from around the world that are the best-selling works in the United States each week. Since K-pop has become more and more famous in the country, this genre usually takes up half or even almost of the chart. And that is the case for this week's rankings, with 14 K-pop songs entering the chart, and one of these just debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard chart.
