EXO Baekhyun’s Solo Album Records Baffling First Day Sales
EXO member Baekhyun has achieved incredible sales numbers within just a day of releasing his new solo album.
On September 6, KST, Baekhyun released his fourth mini album, Hello, World. According to the Hanteo Chart, the record has sold 893,214 copies on its very first day!
While the number is impressive on its own, it is significant to note that Hello, World surpassed the first week sales of Baekyun’s last solo album, Bambi, in less than a day. Bambi had sold 868,000 copies in its initial week. This achievement marks a career best for Baekhyun.

The album has also shown impressive performance on music charts all around the world. Immediately after its release, Hello, World, topped the iTunes Top Albums charts in 33 countries. The title song, “Pineapple Slice” also charted at the top of the iTunes Top Songs Charts in 24 regions.
Hello, World marks Baekhyun’s return as a solo artist after three and a half years. The performance of his albums is expected to increase further as the singer will be opening a pop-up experience in Gangnam to promote the album from September 7 to September 13. The event will utilize an entire three-story building, and include unique experiences such as a music room, a photo booth, an exhibition, lucky draw events, and more. In order to ensure the safety of attendees, only those who have made the free advanced reservations will be allowed.
