- Aespa made history when “Savage” entered both the Billboard 200 and the Artist 100 charts at No. 20 in October. This marked the “highest debut on both the Billboard 200 and the Artist 100 of any K-pop girl group entering either chart for the first time,” according to Soompi.
- According to its website, the Billboard 200 chart “ranks the most popular albums of the week, as compiled by Nielsen Music.” This ranking is “based on multi-metric consumption,” which includes blending traditional album sales, track equivalent albums and streaming equivalent albums.
- The re-entry of “Savage” makes Aespa the fourth-ever K-pop girl group to chart an album for longer than a week. Previous groups that set the record include Blackpink, Twice and Itzy.
- “Savage” also returned to other Billboard charts this week, taking the 2nd spot of the World Albums chart, the 10th spot of the Independent Albums chart, the 15th spot of the Top Current Album Sales chart and the 21st spot of the Top Album Sales chart.
