The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new April 11, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on April 7. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

Of ARIRANG’s 187,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, album sales comprise 114,000 (down 79%; it’s No. 1 on Top Album Sales for a second week), SEA units comprise 65,000 (down 31%, equaling 68.49 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it falls 1-3 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 8,000 (down 49%).
