K-pop notches its biggest sales week yet for an album, thanks to 2NE1. The girl group's new album "Crush" opens at No. 61 on the Billboard 200, selling 5,000 copies in the week ending March 2, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Crush" had an atypical album release. The LP dropped on digital retailers on Feb. 27 without revealing any of the album's material -- not even a snippet. No music videos promoted the album either.
My local Korean faves outselling Lady Gigli this week without even trying.
