K-pop B.A.P seems to be on the right track for success with their second single, "POWER," debuting at No. 10 on U.S.' Billboard World Albums chart for the week of May 6 to 12.
Having scored the same spot for two straight weeks with the first single "WARRIOR" between January and February, B.A.P has entered the same chart again with "POWER," according to the website on Friday.
The rookie artists have already been enjoying the well-received album's result after it placed within Apple iTunes' Top 10 Hip-Hop Albums charts in six countries across the globe on April 30 -- Norway, the United States, Australia, Japan, Netherlands and Canada.
Just a little over three months into their debut, the group's "POWER" had beat out Jay-Z’s "Reasonable Doubt" and Kanye West’s "808s & Heartbreak" on iTunes' chart.
Proving their belting strengths in dance and hip-hop genres, B.A.P's latest album has been seeing explosive figures in its sales as well.
Just yesterday, the group's agency TS Entertainment released a press release saying that the boys moved over 30,000 copies of the sophomore single, just a day after the album dropped on Monday.
B.A.P -- consisted of Bang Yong-guk, Him Chan, Zelo, Jong-up, Young-jae and Dae-hyun -- already staged their debut performance on KBS' "Music Bank" on April 27 and they will continue to promote their new single through televised music programs.
