ZEROBASEONE Hits New Heights on the Billboard Charts
K-pop rookie sensation ZEROBASEONE (ZB1) has made waves on the global music scene, securing a spot on the Billboard 200 for the second consecutive week. Their fifth mini album, ‘BLUE PARADISE’, claimed the No. 28 position—marking the highest debut for a 5th-generation K-pop group on the chart.
With this achievement, ZEROBASEONE is being hailed as a new global powerhouse, setting records barely a year after their official debut. Their rise is a testament to the expanding influence of K-pop, which continues to captivate fans worldwide.
Multiple Billboard Chart Successes Without a U.S. Debut
Even without an official U.S. launch, ZEROBASEONE dominated multiple charts this past week. They ranked No. 2 on the World Albums chart, placed No. 4 on the Emerging Artists chart, and made strong showings on both the Top Current Album Sales (No. 17) and the Top Album Sales (No. 23).
What’s particularly remarkable is that their album wasn’t released simultaneously in Korea and the U.S., yet it still made a significant impact. It’s a clear sign of how widespread their global fandom has grown.
Fan Love Proven in ‘BLUE MANSION’ Fan Concert
ZEROBASEONE recently held their second fan concert, ‘BLUE MANSION’, at Seoul’s KSPO DOME. The arena echoed with cheers as fans enthusiastically showed their support. The concert not only showcased the group’s performance abilities but also emphasized their connection with their devoted fan base.
The group plans to continue fan engagement by launching Season 2 of their original YouTube series, ‘ZBTVing’, with the first episode dropping on June 24.
A Bright Future in the Global K-pop Scene
ZEROBASEONE’s Billboard success strengthens their position as a trailblazer among 5th-generation K-pop groups. Without any official promotions in the U.S., their rise signals how digital streaming and global fan communities are redefining what it means to “debut” internationally.
Industry watchers are excited to see what’s next for ZEBASEONE as they continue to write new chapters in K-pop history. Their journey has only just begun—but the world is already watching.
