Rising K-pop girl group BabyMonster has achieved an impressive milestone, surpassing 1.53 million album sales in just 8 months since their debut.

On November 14, YG Entertainment revealed that BabyMonster (Luca, Parita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rami, Laura, Chikita) has sold 1.53 million albums globally, including both domestic and international sales. This achievement is especially remarkable as it was accomplished with only two albums. Their debut mini-album [BABYMONS7ER] sold 760,000 copies, while their first full-length album [DRIP] has now surpassed 770,000 copies, continuing to see strong growth.

Notably, [DRIP] reached this milestone in less than two weeks, surpassing the total sales of their debut mini-album within just eight months. The album had already sold over 670,000 copies in initial sales (according to Hanteo Chart), and after just one week, orders exceeded 820,000 copies. At this rate, BabyMonster is on track to reach their first million-seller with a single album soon.

Album sales are often a key indicator of a group's fanbase size, and BabyMonster's rapid rise proves just how popular they are becoming. Their powerful stage presence, growing international fanbase from their fan meeting tours, and the quick release of their first full album have all played a part in building a strong fan following.

With their double title tracks "DRIP" and "CLIK CLAK," along with the ongoing promotion of their follow-up track "Love In My Heart," BabyMonster's momentum shows no signs of slowing down. They are also planning their first world tour next year, which is expected to excite their global fanbase.

Meanwhile, [DRIP], released on November 1, has been performing well on various charts. The album entered the U.S. Billboard 200 at No. 149, while the title track "DRIP" ranked No. 16 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and No. 30 on the Billboard Global 200, marking new personal bests for the group.

In addition, "DRIP" stayed on the Spotify Daily Top Songs Global chart for 10 days straight and topped the QQ Music K-pop weekly chart in China. Both title tracks and other songs from [DRIP] have dominated top positions, showing the group's growing popularity on both domestic and international charts.
