P1Harmony’s ‘DUH!’ Soars to No. 23 on Billboard 200, Cementing Global Presence

P1Harmony solidifies global acclaim with DUH topping Billboard World Albums and more

K-pop’s rising global act P1Harmony is making waves in the international music scene once again with their latest EP ‘DUH!’. The six-member group—Keeho, Theo, Jiung, Intak, Soul, and Jongseob—landed at No. 23 on the Billboard 200 chart for the week of May 24, according to the latest release by Billboard on May 20 (local time).

In addition to their Billboard 200 placement, ‘DUH!’ topped the World Albums chart, placed 3rd on both the Independent Albums and Top Album Sales charts, and ranked 3rd on the Top Current Album Sales. Further solidifying their place in the global music arena, P1Harmony also rose to No. 19 on the Artist 100 ranking.

This marks the group’s fourth consecutive appearance on the Billboard 200, following their 6th mini-album ‘HARMONY: ALL IN’ (No. 51), their first studio album ‘Killin’t It’, the 7th EP ‘SAD SONG’, and now ‘DUH!’. Each project has further expanded their international fanbase and recognition.

Unlike past releases, the members of P1Harmony were deeply involved in the creative process of ‘DUH!’, contributing to every track on the record. This personal touch helped the album achieve its highest-ever first-week sales of over 440,000 copies, setting a new milestone for the group.

Locally, ‘DUH!’ dominated the Hanteo Chart’s weekly physical album chart and world chart from May 5-11. At the same time, it ranked No. 1 on the Circle Chart’s weekly retail and album charts from May 4-10. Globally, the album reached No. 1 on iTunes‘ K-pop album charts in five countries including the U.S., UK, Russia, New Zealand, and Japan (as of May 9).

The group also captured first place on major Korean music shows including Show Champion and Music Bank, displaying stellar performance and fan support across platforms.

Adding to their stellar year, P1Harmony will embark on their highly-anticipated 2025 P1Harmony LIVE TOUR [P1ustage H: MOST WANTED], which kicks off this August in Seoul and will span multiple global cities.

‘DUH!’ was released and distributed through a label partnership with Hello82, the only U.S.-based distribution label dedicated to K-pop. This collaboration further emphasizes P1Harmony’s commitment to international growth and accessibility.

With chart domination, meaningful fan engagement, and a world tour on the horizon, P1Harmony is firmly establishing themselves as a new global powerhouse in K-pop.
