Zero Base One's first full-length album 'NEVER SAY NEVER', released on the 1st, sold more than 1.1 million copies on the day of release alone, adding the record of 'Million Seller'.
With this, Zero Base One made another history as the first K-pop group to post six albums in a row from its debut album to the rank of 'Million Seller'. In particular, Zero Base One is the first K-pop group in the 5th generation with more than 9 million cumulative album sales based on the Hanteo Chart, and also listed as the fastest K-pop group to reach 9 million in the last two years.
Overseas music charts are also unusual. 'Never Say Never' entered the 5th place on the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart, the 5th place on the U.S. iTunes Top K-Pop Album Chart, and the 7th place on the European iTunes Album Chart, including the Czech Republic, Qatar, Russia, and Vietnam, to realize the explosive global popularity of Zero Base One in the global market.
The performance of domestic and foreign music charts is also remarkable. With all the songs from 'Never Say Never' entering the Melon Hot 100, six tracks have also entered the Top 100. In particular, the title song of the previous mini-fifth album 'BLUE PARADISE' also backtracked to 96th place, surprising. The title song 'iKONIC' settled on the Japanese line music top 100 and China's QQ music top trend song chart, showing a strong performance in major Asian music charts.
The music video reaction of the title song 'iKONIC' is also strong. The music video is now well over 6 million views less than a day after its release. Thanks to this, Zero Base One ranked within the top 10 trending YouTube music videos in each region, including Worldwide 2nd, UK 4th, Germany 4th, France 7th, Canada 7th, Japan 8th, Korea 10th, Chile 10th, Indonesia 10th, and Russia 10th.
As such, Zero Base One, which has signaled a success in both domestic and international music charts, boasts an overwhelming presence in all directions, such as dominating the real-time trend of X (formerly Twitter) with the keyword 'iconic', raising expectations for its future performance.
Zero Base One will begin its full-fledged activities with the title song 'iKONIC' and will have its first comeback stage on Mnet 'M Countdown' on the 4th.
