Rising K-pop group Kep1er has made a significant leap in their global career by debuting on the prestigious Billboard 200 chart for the first time. Their sixth mini-album, TIPI-TAP, released on November 1, secured the 147th spot on the chart, marking a milestone in the group’s journey.
This achievement is further underscored by the album’s strong performance on other Billboard charts. According to Billboard, TIPI-TAP reached No. 35 on the Top Album Sales chart, signaling its commercial success. It also climbed to No. 7 on the Top Current Album Sales chart, an impressive 28-place jump from the previous week.
In addition, the group demonstrated consistent growth across multiple Billboard sub-charts. TIPI-TAP ranked No. 2 on both the Heatseekers Albums chart and the Emerging Artists chart. It also placed No. 4 on the World Albums chart, reflecting its popularity among international fans and a continued upward trajectory in rankings.
The group’s agency commented on the accomplishment, stating, “Kep1er’s entry into the Billboard 200 reinforces their growing fanbase and competitive edge in the global music industry. This milestone highlights their potential for sustained success.”
Kep1er’s rapid ascent in the global music scene aligns with their evolution as a group. Known for their dynamic performances and genre-blending music, the group continues to resonate with fans worldwide. Their ability to climb the charts internationally speaks to their musical appeal and the dedicated support of their fandom.
Another noteworthy development for Kep1er is their status as the first survival show group to extend their contract. Following this transition, the group has been restructured from nine members to seven, further refining their focus as they continue to explore new artistic directions.
TIPI-TAP's performance underscores Kep1er’s growing influence and reflects their potential to become a leading force in K-pop’s global expansion. With the group poised for continued success, their Billboard debut is seen as just the beginning of a promising new chapter.
