Overview
- The EP WILD opened at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 with 170,000 equivalent album units for the week ending Aug. 20, 2026, according to Luminate and Billboard.
- Traditional album sales made up 145,000 of those units while streaming produced 24,500 SEA units—about 26.95 million on‑demand streams—and roughly 500 TEA units.
- The release was sold in more than 30 physical CD and vinyl configurations with collectible extras such as photocards and randomized signed copies, a strategy that powered the large pure‑sales total.
- Billboard said this represents the biggest opening-week by equivalent units for an all‑female group since the chart adopted its units‑based methodology in 2014, and WILD also opened at No. 1 on Top Album Sales and No. 19 on Top Streaming Albums.
- The group's near term outlook now hinges on whether high physical demand converts into lasting global growth, a test made more urgent by two members taking temporary health leaves and the upcoming Wild World Tour.
