BOYNEXTDOOR's new album surpassed 1 million copies sold just five days after its release on the 13th.
According to the Hanteo Chart on the 18th, BOYNEXTDOOR's mini album 'No Genre' recorded a cumulative sales total of 1,074,316 copies (including three versions, with the standard version) as of the previous day (the 17th).
This achievement has already surpassed the first-week sales of their previous mini album '19.99' (759,156 copies). Considering their increasing popularity with repeated live stages, there are high expectations for rising album sales in the future.
BOYNEXTDOOR is on a career high with every activity. Their debut single had initial sales of about 110,000 copies. The subsequently released mini albums 1 and 2 sold approximately 450,000 and 530,000 copies during the same period, respectively, demonstrating a trend of steady growth.
The mini album '19.99,' which entered the U.S. Billboard main album chart 'Billboard 200' at number 40 (as of Sept. 28, 2024), became BOYNEXTDOOR's first million-seller. It took nearly a month and a half for this album's sales to surpass 1 million copies.
The new release 'No Genre' is receiving a hot response for both the album and the digital tracks since its release. The album surpassed 1 million copies sold in just five days, and the title track 'I Feel Good' secured a spot in the upper ranks of Melon's 'Top 100' the day after its release. Along with the digital single 'I LOVE YOU' released in January, it is enjoying a 'double popularity.'
The global response is also enthusiastic. 'No Genre' ranked first for two consecutive days (on the 14th and 15th) in Japan's Oricon 'Daily Album Ranking,' and the title track and B-sides are prominently featured on China's largest music streaming platform QQ Music's 'Rising Chart' (as of the 14th), signaling great success. BOYNEXTDOOR has been involved in the creation of their songs since debut, infusing their unique sensibilities into their music. The so-called 'life-closer music' has resonated with listeners. This, coupled with their live performances with hand microphones, witty performances, and a wide musical spectrum encompassing diverse genres, has fueled their upward momentum. Members' chemistry shines in their original content, which is also a factor in their popularity. Various episodes of series such as 'WHAT? DOOR!' and 'WITH BOYNEXTDOOR' have surpassed 1 million views on YouTube. With enjoyable music, captivating stages, and the members' entertaining charm, they are riding a wave of popularity. BOYNEXTDOOR plans to continue performing 'I Feel Good' on various music shows. The members will also actively participate in various programs, including MBC's 'Fortunately, You Can Rest,' SBS Power FM's 'Escape from Two O'Clock Cultwo Show' and 'Park So-hyun's Love Game,' as well as KBS Cool FM's 'Park Myung-soo's Radio Show' to promote their comeback.
