SEOUL, Dec. 21 (Yonhap) — South Korean boy band BIGBANG has ranked on six Billboard charts with its third and latest LP “MADE the Full Album,” the group’s management agency said Wednesday.

The 10-year veterans’ full-length album has been riding a huge wave of popularity overseas, taking the top spot on the World Albums/Artist chart, according to YG Entertainment.

The album also hit No. 1 on the nationwide Heatseekers Albums chart and on the regional charts of the same name in the Middle Atlantic, Northeast, Pacific and West North Central regions of the United States. The chart tracks the week’s top-selling albums by up-and-coming acts whose album hasn’t placed in the top 100 of the Billboard 200.
