DAY6 (Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, Dowoon) has finally topped the Melon chart for the first time in their 9-year career.
On September 2nd, the band released their 9th mini album, “Band Aid,” at 6 PM. By 9 PM, just three hours later, the title track “Melting” had climbed to number 1 on the Melon TOP 100 chart.
“Melting” first appeared on the chart at number 5, then quickly moved up four spots within two hours. This is a big improvement from their last title track, “Welcome to the Show,” which entered at number 30.
Fans are also loving the other tracks from the album. Songs like “Monster” is at 22, “She Smiled” at 26, “Mong Game” at 36, “Help Me Rock&Roll” at 46, “COUNTER” at 56, “Still Alive There” at 62, and “I’m Fine” at 63. All tracks from “Band Aid” made it into the TOP 100 for the second time in a row.
This achievement marks a big milestone for DAY6, who first debuted 9 years ago. Before Melon’s chart reform in August 2021, their 2020 mini album “The Book of Us: The Demon” and its title track “Zombie” reached number 4 on the real-time chart. However, comparing this to the current TOP 100 chart is tricky due to changes in chart counting methods.
Their best record post-reform was with “When You’re Here” in 2019, which reached number 6. Their March release “Welcome to the Show” also hit number 8, showing that DAY6 continues to perform well on the charts. Their hit song “Pretty” remains in the top 10, highlighting their lasting popularity as they approach their 10th anniversary.
The album title “Band Aid” plays on the idea of a rock band and the concept of providing help, much like an adhesive bandage. It represents DAY6’s commitment to supporting their fans. Despite being a mini album, “Band Aid” includes 8 tracks, giving it a full-album feel.
The title track “Melting” features a catchy punk sound with various drum beats and dramatic chords. The lyrics talk about how, even when feeling down, everything melts away because of “you,” offering warmth and comfort as the season changes.
As DAY6 celebrates their 9th anniversary on September 7th, they are excited to keep making timeless music with their fans, known as MyDay. The album’s release date of “00/00/0000” symbolizes DAY6’s ongoing journey and dedication.
