BOYNEXTDOOR's 'HOME' earns 4th straight Japan Gold Disc, hits Billboard 200 at No. 16

BOYNEXTDOOR's first full-length album HOME hit Gold status from the Japan Record Association in June after moving more than 100,000 copies. It's their fourth straight Gold certification for a Korean-language release—mini albums 3 through 5 came first.

During the June 8–14 tracking week, HOME sat at No. 1 on both the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking and the Oricon Weekly Combined Album Ranking. It also topped Billboard Japan's Top Album Sales and Hot Albums charts. On the Oricon June monthly ranking, the album landed at No. 2, the highest position and highest sales volume among K-pop acts that month.

The U.S. numbers followed suit. HOME debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 dated June 27, beating the group's previous best of No. 40 set by The Action by 24 positions. First-week sales on the Hanteo Chart hit 1,041,802 copies domestically, making HOME a million-seller.

Nine tracks make up the album: title track "VIRAL" alongside "똑똑똑," "06070," "ADIOS!," "기억해줘요," I Wonder, Upside Down, DIVE, and I Wonder, Always. All six members (Sungho, Riwoo, Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, Woonhak) contributed to the songwriting on what they describe as an autobiographical work.

Their first world tour, BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR KNOCK ON Vol.2 IN SEOUL, kicks off at Seoul KSPO DOME on July 17–19, then moves to Busan Sajik Indoor Gymnasium from July 31 to August 2. Both the Seoul and Busan runs sold out every session.
