TXT Becomes The First K-Pop Group Ever To Have Every Song On A Mini-Album Reach A Certain Charting Milestone
After the success that fourth-generation K-Pop girl groups saw in 2022, this year seems to be starting off the rise in success of fourth-generation boy groups!
TXT made their long-awaited comeback with the mini-album The Name Chapter: Temptation on January 27, with the addicting “Sugar Rush Ride” serving as the title track.
Despite not even 24 hours passing since the album was released, it has already been breaking records not only for TXT but for K-Pop groups in general. For example, it sold over 1.87 million copies in first-day sales on Hanteo, the highest for any fourth-generation K-Pop group and only surpassed by BTS.
Highest 1st Day Sales on Hanteo by K-Pop Acts (All Time):
#1. MAP OF THE SOUL : 7 (2.65M)
#2. PROOF (2.15M)
#3. BE (1.95M)
#4. The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION (1.87M) — @TXT_members 🆕
#5. Face the Sun (1.75M)
#6. Butter (1.71M)
#7. MAP OF THE SOUL : PERSONA (1.47M)— TXT Charts (@TXTChartData) January 27, 2023
It also surpassed 3 million streams on MelOn in just nine hours after its release, and “Sugar Rush Ride” debuted at #46 on MelOn 24Hits, the highest peak by a fourth-generation K-Pop boy group.
And that’s certainly not all. Perhaps most impressively, all five tracks from The Name Chapter: Temptation have reached the top 10 of the MelOn Top 100 chart, the first mini-album by ANY K-Pop group to achieve such a feat!
All tracks from “The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION” entered on the Top 10 of the MelOn Top 100.
