The girl group BABYMONSTER from YG Entertainment has made a stunning achievement just 8 months after debut, surprising the K-pop industry. According to their agency on the 14th, BABYMONSTER has sold a total of 1.53 million albums domestically and internationally with two albums. This remarkable record, based on Circle Chart, reflects the group’s rapid growth.
BABYMONSTER’s debut album ‘BABYMONS7ER’ recorded sales of 760,000 copies, and their recently released first full album ‘Drip’ has already surpassed 770,000 copies, showing a steady upward trend. Notably, ‘Drip’ exceeded the cumulative 8-month sales of the mini 1st album just two weeks after its release, drawing attention. The initial sales surpassed 670,000 copies, and the order volume in the first week alone recorded 820,000 copies, making the achievement of the first single album million-seller highly anticipated.
BABYMONSTER’s outstanding stage skills and the expansion of their global fan base through fan meeting tours are analyzed as the main factors for this success. Plans to continue activities with double title tracks ‘Drip’, ‘CLIK CLAK’, and the follow-up song ‘Love In My Heart’ are expected to further accelerate the group’s popularity. A world tour is scheduled for next year, raising expectations for meetings with fans worldwide.
Additionally, ‘Drip’ entered the U.S. Billboard main chart ‘Billboard 200’ at 149th place, and the title track ‘DRIP’ set its own best record by entering the Billboard Global Chart at 16th and 30th places, respectively. It has been listed on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Global Chart for 10 consecutive days and has achieved a high ranking on China’s QQ Music K-pop weekly chart. The song continues to gain popularity, maintaining an upward trend in domestic music charts as well.
As BABYMONSTER’s global influence continues to spread, their future activities are highly anticipated. Fans are paying close attention to and supporting their next moves.
