[The Fact | Reporter Jeong Byeong-geun] YG Entertainment's new group Baby Monster surpassed ILLIT and set a new record for a new girl group with their first album.
According to Hanteo Chart on the 8th, Baby Monster's (Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rami, Rora, Chiquita) first mini album 'BABYMONS7ER', released on the 1st, has sold a total of 401,287 copies to date. This is the highest sales (one week after release) of the first album released by a K-pop girl group since their debut.
'BABYMONS7ER' shows signs of their popularity with over 460,000 pre-orders. The extraordinary expectations for Baby Monster's music, which has formed a fandom through two pre-debut songs with diverse original content and inherited YG's DNA, have led to a new era.
The previous highest initial sales record for a debut album by a new girl group was 380,056 copies (from March 25 to 31) recorded by ILLIT with their first mini album 'SUPER REAL ME'. Baby Monster, a group that just released their first album just a week apart, immediately rose to the top among new girl groups.
Baby Monster not only stands out in terms of album sales but also stands out on many global charts. The first mini album topped the iTunes Worldwide Album Chart, while the title song 'SHEESH' ranked 69th on the Daily Chart of Spotify, the world's largest music platform, achieving the highest K-pop girl group this year.
As expected of the next generation 'YouTube Queen', the 'SHEESH' MV is also very popular. As soon as it was released, it went straight to the list of 'most viewed videos in 24 hours' and immediately topped YouTube's weekly global rankings. The number of views also skyrocketed, exceeding 76.95 million views and approaching the 100 million views.
Starting with this album, Baby Monster will begin interacting with domestic fans through various contents, television appearances, and fan events. In addition, the group will also expand their activities to the global market through a fan meeting tour in 5 Asian regions such as Tokyo, Indonesia Jakarta, Singapore, Taipei, Bangkok, Thailand and participating in Japan's largest Summer Sonic 2024.
