BIGBANG member G-DRAGON became the first solo K-pop artist to top Billboard's world albums chart for multiple weeks.
While G-Dragon's debut record sales last week were already something to gawk at -- achieving his best US sales week in just one day -- he continues to set more impressive chart feats with his new EP, Billboard said in an article.
For the second week in a row, G-Dragon ruled the World Albums chart with an additional 3,000 copies sold for the week ending June 15, according to Nielsen Music, the article said.
That brought the singer's cumulative sales for the two weeks to just over 7,000 copies, it said. "The achievement makes him the first solo K-pop artist and second K-pop act overall to have an album spend multiple weeks at No. 1 on the chart."
With his comeback album "Kwon Ji Yong", the 28-year-old showed remarkable performances once again as the South Korean artist mentioned most widely by foreign music charts.
