BOYNEXTDOOR Score a First on the Billboard 200

BOYNEXTDOOR have collected a career first on the Billboard 200. Their debut studio album, HOME, re-entered the chart this week at No. 177 after the release of a repackaged edition, HOME: DELUXE. Soompi reported the placements on 14 October 2026. It is the first BOYNEXTDOOR album to spend more than one week on the Billboard 200.

The album first reached the chart in June at No. 16, which remains the group's highest position there and their first top 20 entry on the ranking. This week's return sits well below that peak, but it achieves something the debut week could not: a second, separate week on the chart.

The same tracking week brought a No. 3 re-entry on World Albums, a No. 9 re-entry on Top Album Sales and a No. 9 re-entry on the Artist 100, which marked the group's ninth week on that chart.

What a Re-Entry Shows That a Debut Week Does Not

The Billboard 200 ranks the most popular albums in the United States each week, as the report notes. A re-entry means an album was not on the chart the previous week and has returned, so the No. 177 position reflects activity in one specific tracking period rather than the album's overall standing since June. It should not be read as a decline from No. 16: the two figures come from different weeks, and the June debut remains the album's peak.

A re-entry usually points to a fresh burst of chart-eligible interest, something that returns an older release to the ranking, whether that is a new version of the album, a promotional push or a renewed physical release. The sequence here is clear in the report: HOME: DELUXE arrived, and HOME returned to the Billboard 200. The report does not set out what the deluxe edition contains, so the precise mix behind the week's numbers is not established by the source alone.

The Deluxe Edition as a Release Move

Repackaged and deluxe editions are a familiar part of K-pop release cycles. They give an album a second moment in the calendar, offering listeners a new version of a record they may already own and giving newer listeners a different entry point. For an act still in the early chapters of its career, that second moment can matter. It can return an album to the conversation months after the original release, when attention would normally have moved on.

The outcome is what distinguishes this particular release. The repackage coincided with BOYNEXTDOOR's first multi-week run on the Billboard 200, and with returns on three other Billboard rankings: World Albums, Top Album Sales and the Artist 100.

Why the Multi-Week Milestone Matters for the Group

For most releases, the opening week is the busiest. Listeners who have waited for an album tend to arrive together once it is out, and that concentration often produces the highest chart position an album will reach. That makes a second week a different kind of test. Numbers that hold after the opening days suggest an album is still being found by listeners rather than only being consumed on release.

That is the significance of this milestone for BOYNEXTDOOR. HOME had already delivered the group's first top 20 entry in June. It has now become their first album to appear on the Billboard 200 in more than one week, and the group's Artist 100 run reached nine weeks in total. Both are records of a continuing audience rather than a single opening moment, though a chart week remains only a snapshot.

World Albums: Returning at No. 3

The World Albums chart is Billboard's ranking for albums in the world music field, and HOME re-entered it at No. 3. That is a markedly higher position than the No. 177 Billboard 200 return, and the two are not directly comparable: each chart draws on a different field of albums, so a strong placement on one does not translate automatically into a similar placing on the other.

Read alongside the Billboard 200 result, though, the No. 3 return shows this was not a single-chart event. The deluxe week registered on Billboard's world music ranking at the same time as it registered on the main album chart, which is a broader pattern of activity than a lone re-entry would suggest.

Top Album Sales: Ninth in the United States

HOME also re-entered Billboard's Top Album Sales chart at No. 9. The report describes that placement as meaning the album was the ninth best-selling album of the week in the United States. This chart deals with sales specifically rather than the combined picture captured by the Billboard 200, which also accounts for streaming.

The distinction is worth holding on to, because it explains why an album can sit at No. 177 on one ranking and inside the top 10 on another in the same week. A deluxe edition is most likely to move the sales side of the ledger, where a new version of an album gives committed listeners something new to add to their collections. The Top Album Sales result is the clearest evidence in the report that the deluxe week translated into purchases.

Artist 100: A No. 9 Return and a Ninth Week

BOYNEXTDOOR themselves re-entered the Artist 100 at No. 9. Billboard describes that chart as a combined measure of an act's album sales, track sales, streaming and radio airplay, which makes it a reading of an artist's week rather than of a single release. The group has now spent nine weeks on the ranking in total, according to the report.

A No. 9 artist placement in the same week as a No. 177 album placement shows the two charts answering different questions. One tracks a single album's popularity; the other weighs a group's overall activity for the week. For BOYNEXTDOOR, the Artist 100 return means the deluxe period registered at the level of the act as well as the album.

The Takeaway

The verified shape of this week is straightforward. HOME re-entered the Billboard 200 at No. 177 after HOME: DELUXE, becoming BOYNEXTDOOR's first album to spend more than one week on the chart. The album returned to World Albums at No. 3 and Top Album Sales at No. 9, while the group re-entered the Artist 100 at No. 9 for a ninth overall week.

What comes next depends on the weeks that follow, and the report does not project anything beyond this tracking period. The milestone itself is the story: a group with a top 20 debut behind them has now shown that an album can return to the Billboard 200 rather than simply passing through it. That is a useful marker of momentum, and it is one BOYNEXTDOOR had not reached before this week.
