B.A.P. is proving themselves to be definitely one of the hottest rookies of the year yet!

As of April 30th, the boys’ second single album, ‘POWER‘, has sold out its initial batch of 30,000 copies! According to Hanteo, B.A.P. rose from 4th to 5th and finally 2nd, right after Taetiseo‘s ‘Twinkle‘, on May 2nd, on Hanteo’s live chart.

On Hot Tracks, the boys actually beat out Taetiseo in sales on the daily chart, and ranked in just after Busker Busker, for May 1st.

Not only that, but the digital release of ‘POWER’ has ranked #3 in the top 10 on the iTunes Store Top 10 Hip-Hop Albums chart for the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and more. Their music video has also gained over a million views on YouTube, signifying much international interest in the group as well.

TS Entertainment expressed, “The CD hasn’t yet been distributed overseas yet so we’ve been receiving a lot of calls interested in purchasing the album. We’ve already ordered another batch.”

i still need to get used to 30k album sales being considered successful. i still get hung up when there are articles about groups reaching the 100k+ mark and i'm like "...took you long enough"

regardless congrats bap

Me too esp when you're a J-Pop fan where a single first day sales are usually over 100k for a moderate successful group & over 500k to 1mil for highly successful groups. But I already get used to it since I know Korea fans didn't spent their monies for physical cds/dvds.

srsly? i honestly can't think of a lot of groups that sell over 100k first day... even the hottest johnny's groups don't consistently sell that much in one day.

Yeah, I had Arashi & AKB in mind when I wrote that. haha not entirely accurate -- more accurate if we're talking about first week sales..

This is korea girl, it used to be a huge success for an idol group to sell 20k abums. And even then 60% is bought between the same people aka being used as coasters in someones house.
