BOYNEXTDOOR Shines on Billboard Charts, 'The Action' Achieves New Milestones

Global sensation BOYNEXTDOOR has once again proven their rising popularity, achieving remarkable success across six Billboard charts with their latest mini-album, ‘The Action’.

According to the latest Billboard charts released on November 4th (local time), the mini-album ‘The Action’ secured the 40th position on the main album chart, ‘Billboard 200’. This marks a significant jump of 22 spots from their previous album, ‘No Genre,’ which ranked 62nd.

This achievement extends BOYNEXTDOOR’s streak, as ‘The Action’ is their fifth consecutive entry onto the ‘Billboard 200’ chart, following releases like their first mini-album ‘WHY..’ (162nd), second mini-album ‘HOW?’ (93rd), third mini-album ‘19.99’ (40th), and fourth mini-album ‘No Genre’ (62nd). This consecutive charting is a unique accomplishment among K-pop groups who debuted around the same time.

The group also showcased their strong presence by debuting at number 1 on both the ‘Emerging Artists’ chart, which highlights promising new talent, and the ‘World Albums’ chart, which aggregates album sales and streaming data globally. Furthermore, they secured high positions on key charts related to physical album sales, ranking 7th on ‘Top Album Sales’ and 6th on ‘Top Current Album Sales’. In the ‘Artist 100’ chart, which combines digital, album, and radio airplay, BOYNEXTDOOR impressively landed at 25th place, holding the highest ranking among K-pop boy groups on that day.

The success of ‘The Action’ is largely attributed to the music created by the members themselves. The relatable lyrics and catchy melodies have resonated with music fans worldwide. In addition to Myung Jae-hyun, Tae San, and Un-hak, who have consistently contributed to songwriting, Lee Han also joined the creative process for the title track ‘Hollywood Action’, infusing the album with the group’s distinct identity. The positive reception from listeners for an album deeply reflecting the team’s unique charm has led to these excellent results. Coupled with their stellar live performances during their first solo tour, ‘BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR ‘KNOCK ON Vol.1’’, which galvanized their global fandom, the group’s upward trajectory has been undeniable.

Fueled by these achievements, ‘The Action’ achieved triple million-selling status, demonstrating BOYNEXTDOOR’s significantly expanded influence. Following the successful promotions for their new album, BOYNEXTDOOR is set to connect with their global fanbase on stage at the ‘2025 MAMA AWARDS’ on December 28th and 29th, held at Hong Kong's largest venue, Kai Tak Stadium.

Netizens reacted enthusiastically, commenting, 'BOYNEXTDOOR finally hit 40th on Billboard 200! So proud they broke their own record,' 'All the B-sides were great, so it's no wonder they got good results,' and 'This album is even more meaningful because the members participated so much in the songwriting.'
