The group ZEROBASEONE has topped the '6 consecutive million-seller' list upon their comeback.
ZEROBASEONE (Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, Ricky, Kim Gyu-bin, Park Geonwook, Han Yujin) released their first full album 'Never Say Never' on the 1st, selling over 1.1 million copies on the day of release, adding to their 'million-seller' records.
As a result, ZEROBASEONE has made history as the first K-pop group to achieve 'million-seller' status with six consecutive albums since debut. In particular, according to the Hanteo Chart, ZEROBASEONE is the first 5th-generation K-pop group to record over 9 million copies in cumulative album sales, and also holds the record for the fastest K-pop group to reach 9 million copies in the last two years.
The performance on overseas album charts is also noteworthy. 'Never Say Never' entered the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart at No. 5, the U.S. iTunes Top K-Pop Album Chart at No. 5, and the European iTunes Album Chart at No. 7, while achieving No. 1 on the iTunes 'Top Album' charts in countries like the Czech Republic, Qatar, Russia, and Vietnam, demonstrating ZEROBASEONE's explosive global popularity.
The results on domestic and international music charts are also remarkable. Every track from 'Never Say Never' has entered the Melon HOT100, with six tracks making it to the TOP100. Particularly, the title track of the previous mini-album 'Blue Paradise', titled 'Blue', also made a comeback to rank 96, surprising many. The title track 'Iconik' has also made significant impacts on major Asian music charts, landing on the Japan Line Music TOP100 and the China QQ Music Top Trend Song Chart.
The response to the music video for the title track 'Iconik' is also intense. The music video exceeded 6 million views in less than a day after its release. Thanks to this momentum, ZEROBASEONE has achieved the remarkable feat of ranking in the top 10 of YouTube Music Video Trending in various regions: 2nd worldwide, 4th in the UK, 4th in Germany, 7th in France, 7th in Canada, 7th in Japan, 8th in Korea, 10th in Chile, 10th in Indonesia, and 10th in Russia.
In this way, ZEROBASEONE, which has shot up the dual success on domestic and international album and music charts, has taken over the real-time trends on X (formerly Twitter) with the keyword 'Iconik', showcasing their overwhelming presence across the board and raising expectations for their future activities.
ZEROBASEONE will kick off their full-scale activities with the title track 'Iconik', having their first comeback stage on the 4th on the cable channel 'M Countdown'.
