[OSENWORLD] ZEROBASEONE’s first full-length album Never Say Never comes with a bold statement: nothing is impossible when you refuse to give up. Two weeks into its Billboard chart performance, the record is proving exactly that.
On Sept. 23 (local time), Billboard revealed its latest rankings for the week of Sept. 27, with ZEROBASEONE charting across six categories for the second consecutive week. The nine-member group — Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae-rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu-bin, Park Gun-wook, and Han Yu-jin — scored No. 4 on Emerging Artists and World Albums, No. 11 on Top Current Album Sales, No. 12 on Top Album Sales, No. 37 on Independent Albums, and No. 79 on the Artist 100.
The achievement follows last week’s milestone, when Never Say Never debuted at No. 23 on the Billboard 200. The ranking marked a career high for the group and set the record for the highest entry yet by a fifth-generation K-pop act.
The album’s anthem of perseverance has been mirrored in ZEROBASEONE’s rapid trajectory. Domestically, they have achieved six consecutive million-seller records, while title track ICONIK has earned six music-show wins, completing a grand slam. Globally, their Billboard performance underscores the group’s emergence as one of K-pop’s new leaders on the international stage.
Next, ZEROBASEONE will bring their momentum home with the 2025 ZEROBASEONE WORLD TOUR ‘HERE&NOW’. The Seoul shows, set for Oct. 3–5 at KSPO DOME, sold out all three nights during fan-club pre-sales. In response to overwhelming demand, additional limited-view seats have been made available.
