K-pop sensation ZEROBASEONE has once again demonstrated its global prowess by setting a new personal best on the Billboard 200, the main album chart in the United States.

According to the latest charts released by Billboard on September 16th (local time), ZEROBASEONE's first full-length album, 'NEVER SAY NEVER,' debuted at an impressive 23rd position.

This significant achievement surpasses their previous record of 28th place with their fifth mini-album, 'BLUE PARADISE.' With this new peak, ZEROBASEONE has firmly established itself as a 'Global Top Tier' artist, achieving the highest ranking among fifth-generation K-pop groups on the Billboard 200.

Beyond the main album chart, ZEROBASEONE also saw remarkable success across various Billboard sub-charts. They secured the No. 1 spot on 'Emerging Artists,' second on 'World Albums,' third on 'Independent Albums,' fifth on 'Top Album Sales' and 'Top Current Album Sales,' and nineteenth on 'Artist 100,' marking their presence on a total of seven charts.

The album 'NEVER SAY NEVER' has also achieved phenomenal commercial success, selling over 1.51 million copies in its first week of release, making ZEROBASEONE a '6-time Million Seller.' The album has also garnered significant attention by topping charts in Japan's Oricon and China's QQ Music, further proving their international appeal.

Furthermore, their title track 'ICONIK' achieved a grand slam by securing first place on domestic music shows for six consecutive days, a first in the group's history. This consistent success underlines ZEROBASEONE's iconic journey of growth.

ZEROBASEONE continues to break barriers with 'NEVER SAY NEVER,' embodying the album's message of 'never give up' for those dreaming of something extraordinary in ordinary reality. The group is actively shaping a new history in K-pop as a leading global force.

Looking ahead, ZEROBASEONE is set to kick off their world tour 'HERE&NOW' in October at the KSPO DOME in Seoul, with tickets already selling out rapidly, indicating their immense popularity.

ZEROBASEONE, a nine-member group formed through the Mnet survival show 'Boys Planet,' debuted on July 10, 2023. The group's name signifies the members starting from zero and coming together as one. Their music often conveys messages of hope and growth.
