Group New Jeans' 'Get Up', 1.65 million copies in the first week...2nd among female groups of all time
According to Hanteo Chart on the 28th, New Jeans' 2nd mini album 'Get Up' sold a total of 1,650,181 copies during the first week of release (counting period July 21-27).
This is a record that corresponds to the 2nd place in Initial Chodong (sales volume within a week after the release of the album) by a female K-pop artist.
This is a rapid growth trend after one year of debut. New Jeans recorded 310,000 copies in the first week with their 1st mini album 'New Jeans' in August of last year, setting a new record for debut albums by a girl group. The single album 'OMG' was released in early January this year and sold 700,000 copies within a week. It was more than twice the sales of the debut album.
The 2nd mini album 'Get Up' once again recorded 1.65 million copies in the first week of sales, more than doubling compared to the previous work. In particular, on the day of release alone, close to 1.2 million copies were sold, and it vomited its spirit to achieve 3 consecutive million sellers.
Jin's 'Get Up' consists of a total of 6 songs. While boasting an all-time scale by showing music videos and performances of all songs, they are receiving favorable reviews from foreign media such as Pitchfork, Grammy.com, and NME.
