SEOUL, March 30 (UPI) -- K-pop supergroup BTS returned to the top of the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart with its comeback release Arirang, marking a major milestone following a nearly four-year hiatus.
The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated April 4, Billboard reported in a preview Sunday.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the United States across multiple metrics as measured in equivalent album units.
Arirang opened with 641,000 equivalent album units earned, marking the largest week for a group since the chart began measuring consumption by units in 2014.
Pure album sales -- purchases of physical and digital copies -- accounted for 532,000 units, the group's biggest sales week ever and the highest total for any group in more than a decade.
