Billboard announced on the 1st (local time) through an online chart preview article that "Suga's 'D-DAY' debuted at number 2 on this week's Billboard 200 chart (dated May 6) with 140,000 copies sold."

This is the second achievement following fellow group member Jimin's first solo album 'FACE' also reaching number 2 on the Billboard 200. Through Suga and Jimin's records, BTS now holds the highest ranking for a K-pop solo artist on the Billboard 200 (2nd place).

The 'Billboard 200' ranks albums by combining traditional album sales such as physical CDs, streaming equivalent albums (SEA), which convert streaming counts into album sales, and track equivalent albums (TEA), which convert digital track downloads into album sales.

Suga's physical album sales were counted at 122,000 copies, streaming equivalent sales at 12,500 copies, and download equivalent sales at 5,500 copies.

Billboard reported that Suga's album was the best-selling physical album in the US this week and recorded the fourth highest weekly sales so far this year.

The number 1 spot was held for the 8th consecutive week by American country singer Morgan Wallen's 'One Thing at a Time.'

Suga, under the name 'Agust D,' released his first official solo album 'D-DAY' on the 21st of last month. It is his first album in about three years since the mixtape 'D-2' released in May 2020.

This album contains a total of 10 tracks, including the title track 'Haegeum,' the collaboration with IU titled 'People Pt.2,' and 'Midnight,' among others.
