BoyNextDoor Wrapped Promotions Sunday. The Numbers Say They Just Had Their Best Month Yet.
BoyNextDoor closed out promotions for "Home" on June 28 with a final stage on SBS's "Inkigayo." The album, released June 8, became the group's fourth consecutive million-seller, selling 1,085,715 copies in its first week according to Hanteo Chart - and gave the six-member act its best chart placements yet, at home and abroad.
"Home" debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 dated June 27, a 24-spot jump from the group's previous high of No. 40 with "The Action." It is BoyNextDoor's sixth consecutive Billboard 200 entry, following a steady climb from No. 162 with their 2023 debut EP "Why.." The album also opened at No. 1 on Billboard's World Albums chart and No. 2 on Top Album Sales, with 26,000 US copies sold in the week ending June 18 according to Luminate - both career bests.
In Japan, "Home" swept Billboard Japan's Top Album Sales and Hot Albums charts and topped Oricon's Daily, Weekly, and Weekly Combined Album Rankings, selling 159,000 copies there in its first week. At home, it led both the Hanteo and Circle Chart weekly rankings for the period of June 7-14.
The album marks a shift in how the group works. Where previous releases featured writing contributions from only some members, all six contributed to "Home." Member Woonhak described the project as the result of nearly a year of work. "Since 'Home' is an album we spent almost a year making with all our sincerity, effort and spirit, I think we just really want it to reach people," he said. "Because we wrote so many of our personal stories, we hope people will be able to connect with the human side of BoyNextDoor."
The commercial run extends a pattern that has held since 2024: BoyNextDoor's last three releases before "Home" - "19.99," "No Genre," and "The Action" - each crossed one million in sales within their first week. No EP or album from the group has failed to do so since.
BoyNextDoor's next move takes them further than any prior release has. The group will launch its first overseas concert tour in mid-August, opening with three sold-out nights in Seoul before stops in six cities in Japan, ten in North America, and six in Southeast Asia.
