LE SSERAFIM's fifth mini-album, HOT, debuted at No. 9 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, marking its first entry into the main album chart.
According to Billboard's preview article for the March 29 chart, HOT, released on March 14, achieved 45,500 album units, debuting at No. 9 on the Billboard 200. This is the fourth time a LE SSERAFIM album has entered the top 10.
The Billboard 200 chart is calculated based on album units. These units include traditional album sales (physical copies), streaming equivalent album (SEA), which converts streaming numbers into album sales, and track equivalent album (TEA), which converts digital download numbers into album sales.
The album, which conveys the determination to love passionately through its lyrics, sold 38,500 physical copies, ranking No. 1 on this week's Top Album Sales. SEA accounted for 7,000 units, while TEA remained at a minimal level.
