Thursday, April 25 (NEW YORK, NY) - YG Entertainment’s rising K-Pop group, BABYMONSTER, has continued to make its mark on the global music scene, reaching new highs on both the Billboard Global and Global 200 charts. Their newest single, “SHEESH” currently sits at No. 16 on the Billboard Global Chart and at No. 33 on the Billboard 200 chart. “SHEESH” continues to chart daily on Spotify’s Global Daily and Weekly Charts, securing positions for 23 days and two consecutive weeks respectively.
