B1A4′s first studio album, released on October 24, rose as high as second place on the Oricon Daily Chart. B1A4 came close to taking over the no. 1 spot currently taken up by the Japanese singer/songwriter LEO, and in Tower Records even rose to no. 1 on its Daily Sales chart.

Considering how B1A4 is still a rookie group, the feat is especially surprising as it even beat out the popular local singers Miyuki Nakajima
and the Johnny′s group Kanjani∞.

A rep from B1A4′s agency WM Entertainment said, "The members heard the news and thanked everyone for the unexpected support and interest, determined to become even better in the future through their efforts."

The group debuted with Let′s Fly and has continued to build up on its career with such singles as O.K, Beautiful Target and Sleep Well, Good Night. It is currently preparing for a comeback in November, and will hold its first exclusive concert from December 8 to 9 in Seoul.

enewsworld

Congrats boys! They sold 10,372 copies of their album on the first day.

So when does a group stop being considered a 'rookie' group? Been together for 2 years or... what?

IKR. -_- Do they purposely do that? I don't wanna shade, but I don't think many Korean media outlets have very high standards of journalism.

Or maybe its just the sites that post Kpop.

yeah, I'm actually used to this kind of news. It's amazing how they never seem to learn. It's just funny this time they choose to emphasize the "winning" by "beating" a Johnnys (and K8 in this matter), which is like impossible atm.

I mean overall.

Considering they will be dropping like rocks today, I think 40k is slightly optimistic, but hey, Hallyu is conquering and stuff so they should be able to do it.

I think 40k is a VERY VERY optimistic number. ^^

Seeing today's number, you're right. They'll probably end up selling 25-30k if they don't keep dropping.

lol i love how the article left out the info that Kanjani already sold 300k last week only, like it wasn't relevant enough XD

I guess it's good for a rookie korean group, though... they sold about the same as Ieiri Leo, who is also an up and coming soloist. So you go, B1A4 bbs! ^.^

I'm pretty disappointed with Leo's sales, ngl. She was always more of a digital queen, but I expected at least 20k first day.

At least she beat all Ninki expectations XD

Considering how her physical singles sold on the first day, I was not really surprised. Albuns do tend to sell less than singles in Japan. Maybe she'll become like Nishino Kana, the next queen of digital and chaku uta sales lol XD

The only time you should post about Hallyu groups beating JE groups, Korean media, is when TVXQ beats Sexy Zone. Post anything other than that (I mean B1A4 against Kanjani8? Like srsly ._.) You're just pushing it.

Anyways congrats B1A4.

Yeah, if TVXQ beats Sexy Zone, that I can believe. They have much greater fan base compared the newbie Sexy Zone.

Glad Leo hits number 1.
"the feat is especially surprising as it even beat out the popular local singers Miyuki Nakajima and the Johnny′s group Kanjani∞."
Really... After Kanjani sold 300k in a week, they didnt even mention this fact. Plus today B1A4 already drop till 7th position.

Ranking means nothing in this case when they only sold 10k. I mean I love B1A4 but 10k is not popularity just cuz its at number 2, it just means they chose an empty release week.

Congrats to them!

I've just finished listening to their Korean albuns, so I guess it's time to give their Japanese songs a chance.
