The warriors of B.A.P recently released their latest EP “Power”. After their successful streak as a rookie on local music charts, the boys have taken over iTunes Hip Hop charts as well.

According to iTunes ‘Top 10 Hip-Hop Albums Chart’ on April 28, B.A.P’s second album ‘Power’ topped the chart in both Canada and New Zealand, #2 in U.S. and Australia, and #3 in Japan.

The feat is even more remarkable as the power rookies beated out global stars such as Jay-Z, Kanye West and Gorillaz. This is significant as the B.A.P has held only two stages in KBS ‘Music Bank’ and MBC ‘Music Core’ after the album was released on April 27.
