Big Bang’s recent full length album, MADE has made it again to the Billboard charts.

The group’s management, YG Entertainment, stated that the album had been riding a huge wave of popularity overseas.

The final album of the MADE series is topping Billboard’s general Heatseekers Album chart, as well as the regional Heatseekers Album charts, which include the Middle Atlantic, Pacific, Northeast and West North Central parts of the United States, Antara news agency reported Thursday.

The chart is comprised of the week’s highest selling albums by what Billboard describes as emerging acts that are yet to be placed in the top 100 of the Billboard 200.

MADE the Full Album also managed to land in 172nd position on the Billboard 200, which marked the 10-year old group’s second time in the chart after their EP, Alive was released four years ago.

Separately, three songs on the album, “Fxxk It”, “Last Dance” and “Girlfriend” also have second, third and fourth place respectively on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart. (asw)
