BOYNEXTDOOR has scored a new career milestone in the United States. The six-member K-pop group’s first studio album, “HOME,” has re-entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 177 on the chart dated October 17, 2026, following the release of its repackaged version, “HOME: DELUXE.” More importantly, “HOME” has now become BOYNEXTDOOR’s first album ever to spend more than one week on the Billboard 200, a significant step forward for the group’s growing presence in the U.S. music market.
What the Re-Entry Numbers Mean for BOYNEXTDOOR
The re-entry at No. 177 was driven by the September 28, 2026 release of “HOME: DELUXE,” which added five new tracks to the original nine-song album, including the Zico-produced lead single. According to Billboard’s latest charts, the renewed chart activity reflects sales and streaming from the deluxe edition.
Beyond the main Billboard 200 chart, “HOME” also re-entered Billboard’s World Albums chart at No. 3 and the Top Album Sales chart at No. 9, meaning it was the ninth best-selling album of the week in the United States. The group also re-entered the Billboard Artist 100 chart at No. 9, marking their ninth overall week on that chart.
From No 16 Debut to Multi-Week Success
“HOME” first arrived on June 8, 2026, and made an immediate impact. The album debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 on the chart dated June 27, 2026, giving BOYNEXTDOOR their first-ever top 20 entry on the chart. At the time, Billboard reported that the album sold 26,000 copies in the United States in the week ending June 18, marking the group’s best U.S. sales week to date.
The repackage “HOME: DELUXE” was announced in early September 2026, with KOZ Entertainment confirming that the new version would feature 14 tracks in total and mark the group’s expansion into electro-funk sounds.
A Career-High Streak on Billboard
The success of “HOME” extends a strong run for BOYNEXTDOOR on the Billboard 200. The group has now placed six consecutive releases on the chart:
- “Why” — No. 162
- “How?” — No. 93
- “19.99” — No. 40
- “No Genre” — No. 62
- “The Action” — No. 40
- “HOME” — No. 16
The No. 16 peak surpassed the group’s previous best of No. 40, which they achieved twice with “19.99” and “The Action”. The album also debuted at No. 1 on the World Albums chart and No. 2 on the Top Album Sales chart, both career-best results at the time.
What the Members Said About HOME
BOYNEXTDOOR — made up of SUNGHO, RIWOO, JAEHYUN, TAESAN, LEEHAN, and WOONHAK — poured personal stories into the album. All six members participated in songwriting and production, and the project was over a year in the making. During a press interview in early June 2026, WOONHAK shared how much the album meant to them:
“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. Because we wrote so many of our personal stories, we hope people will be able to connect with the human side of BOYNEXTDOOR.”
The album’s lead track, “VIRAL,” drew attention for its nostalgic throwback to second- and third-generation K-pop sounds, while tracks like “ADIOS!” and the pre-release single “Knock Knock” showed the group’s range across different styles.

It topped both the Hanteo and Circle charts in Korea, as well as Oricon’s Weekly Album Ranking and Billboard Japan’s major album charts.

Fan reactions on social media reflected pride in the group’s steady growth.

The group is also set to launch a North American tour starting October 30, covering ten cities across the United States.
