K-Pop Star Taeyang Hits Billboard 200 — billboard.com

The album title from K-pop star Taeyang adequately describes his latest activity on a slew of Billboard charts. The singer/rapper's "Rise" LP soars into the Billboard 200, landing at No. 112. The all-Korean set sold 3,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Nearly four years after his last solo LP, "Rise" is the second full-length from Taeyang, a member of boy band BIGBANG. The set was led by the single "Eyes, Nose, Lips," a touching ballad with an adult-R&B sound. The single also tops the K-Pop Hot 100 (more on that later along with loads of fun chart stats).
