AceShowbiz - SuperM is living up to people's expectation. The group, who is labeled as the "avengers" in the K-Pop industry, claims their first No. 1 album on Billboard 200 with their self-titled debut effort. Released on Friday, October 4, the record arrives atop the weekly chart after racking up 168,000 units in the week ending October 10, according to Nielsen Music.
