A K-pop blockbuster lands atop this week's Billboard albums chart, but it's not the one you might be expecting.

This week, Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem sits at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart again. But the two titles just below it are making the most noise: Conan Gray's Wishbone and KPop Demon Hunters, which pulls off something no soundtrack has ever accomplished.
