YG Entertainment‘s fresh-faced girl group, BABYMONSTER, is making waves with their debut album.
As per the Hanteo Chart on April 8, BABYMONSTER‘s first mini-album ‘BABYMONS7ER‘ has sold a whopping 401,287 copies from April 1 to April 7. This is a record-breaking initial sales figure for a K-pop girl group’s debut album.
‘BABYMONS7ER‘ has been a hot topic even before its release, with over 460,000 pre-orders. The group has managed to build a solid fanbase through their unique self-produced content and music that carries the signature YG style.
Given that BABYMONSTER has just kick-started their journey, the final sales volume is predicted to skyrocket. YG also mentioned that some overseas export volumes are yet to be added to the tally.
BABYMONSTER isn’t just winning in album sales but is also making their presence felt on various global charts. Their first mini-album clinched the top spot on the iTunes Worldwide Album Chart, and the title track ‘SHEESH’ secured the 69th position on Spotify’s Daily Top Song Global Chart, setting a new record for a K-pop girl group this year.
Living up to their title as the next ‘YouTube Queen‘, the ‘SHEESH‘ music video is a massive hit. It became the ‘Most Viewed Video in 24 Hours‘ right after its release and swiftly topped the YouTube Global Weekly Chart. The view count is on a steep rise, already surpassing 76.95 million views and racing towards the 100 million mark.
