Billboard has published its World Albums chart for the week ending on September 4!

TXT’s second studio album “The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE” shot back up to No. 1 on the chart following the release of its repackaged version “The Chaos Chapter: FIGHT OR ESCAPE.” Now in its 13th consecutive week on the chart, “The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE” continues to extend its own record as the longest-charting K-pop album of 2021.

“The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE” also re-entered the Billboard 200 at No. 8 this week, making TXT only the third K-pop artist in history to spend more than one week in the top 10.

Not only did Stray Kids’ new studio album “NOEASY” debut at No. 5 on the World Albums chart, but a whopping seven tracks from the album entered Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart this week. Stray Kids’ new title track “Thunderous” made a strong debut at No. 3, and six of their B-sides trailed close behind: “Domino” debuted at No. 11, “Cheese” at No. 14, “The View” at No. 18, “Ssick” at No. 22, and “Sorry, I Love You” at No. 24, while the group’s “Kingdom” track “WOLFGANG” re-entered the chart at No. 23.
