YG's large group TREASURE topped
the iTunes Worldwide Album Chart as well as South Korea and Japan upon its
comeback.
TREASURE released all the songs of
its first mini-album "THE SECOND STEP: CHAPTER ONE" and the music
video of its title song "JIKJIN" at 6 p.m. on February 15th.
As soon as the album was released,
it topped iTunes in 30 countries. The diverse distribution of continental
regions such as Japan, Australia, Brazil, India, Mexico, Canada, Russia, Saudi
Arabia, Spain, and Thailand has made it possible to guess TREASURE's wide
global popularity.
It has also settled at the top 4
in iTunes, the world's largest pop market. It is an achievement and a
noticeable leap forward without a single local activity.
According to YG, when looking at
the actual status of the album sales ratio by country, the U.S. accounted for
more than 20% (as of February 16th), showing a change beyond popularity in
Asia.
