The BTS leader is currently making his mark on the charts!
On June 2, Billboard officially announced that RM's second solo album "Right Place, Wrong Person" made its debut on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. According to sources, the album successfully made it to No. 5.
This achievement is impressive on many levels, as the Albums chart records the most popular albums in the United States, and this newest feat highlighted RM's impact and the high anticipation for his album.
Since RM's album "Right Place, Wrong Person" rounded Billboard 200's Top 5, this led him to become the first-ever Korean soloist to do so with two separate albums, with his debut album "Indigo" having peaked previously on the chart's No. 3.
"Indigo" debuted on the Top 200's No. 15, which makes "Right Place, Wrong Person" the soloist's highest-ranked solo album on the chart.
Furthermore, "Right Place, Wrong Person" also led RM to achieve the biggest opening week in the United States.
Luminate shared that the album had garnered a total of 54,000 equivalent album units for the week ending on May 30, which comprised 43,000 in its traditional album sales, 7,500 streaming units (10.16 million on-demand audio streams), and 3,500 track equivalent album units.
Outside of Billboard, RM's "Right Place, Wrong Person" also made its entry on the UK's Official Albums Chart on May 31. The album also secured a new record for RM, as "Right Place, Wrong Person" debuted on the chart's No. 37, which surpassed "Indigo" (No. 45).
Apart from his album, its title track "LOST!" also made it on the Official Singles Chart, where it managed to claim No. 93. This was also followed by its reign at No. 1 on the Official Singles Sales Chart, Singles Downloads Chart, and Physical Singles Chart.
Congratulations to RM for these tremendous feats!
RM released "Right Place, Wrong Person" and the music video for its title track "LOST!" on May 24. Apart from "LOST!," RM also released respective videos for tracks "Come back to me," "Domodachi (feat. Little Simz)," "Groin," and "Nuts."
