The group PLAVE surpassed 1.32 million copies in first-week sales for their fifth mini-album, setting a new career high.
According to data from the domestic music chart site Hanteo Chart released on the 19th, PLAVE's fifth mini-album "HYPERDRIVE," released on the 13th, recorded over 1.32 million copies in first-week sales (sales volume during the first week of release). This is the highest first-week sales figure among all of PLAVE's albums to date, breaking their own previous record.
PLAVE had previously surpassed 1.25 million first-week sales with their fourth mini-album "Caligo Pt.2." With this new album, they have written a new chapter in their own records. By continuously setting career highs since their debut, the group is demonstrating a solid fanbase and strong album sales power.
This album is a new release coming approximately six months after "Caligo Pt.2," which was released in April. It features a total of five tracks encompassing various genres, further expanding PLAVE's unique musical color and marking the beginning of a new musical chapter.
In addition to album sales, the group achieved notable results on music streaming charts. As of 12:00 a.m. on the 13th, immediately following the digital release, all tracks from the title song to the included songs ranked from first to fifth place on major domestic music charts, including Melon, Genie, and Bugs, achieving what is known as "chart domination." The high performance in both album sales and streaming confirmed strong interest in PLAVE's new album.
As PLAVE has set a new record for their highest album sales with "HYPERDRIVE" and demonstrated their presence on music charts, attention is turning to the musical direction they will continue through this album.
Meanwhile, PLAVE is accelerating their global activities through their first world tour, "KEEP IT MANIC." Starting with performances in Korea, they held a concert in Singapore on October 17. They are scheduled to meet fans globally by visiting Taipei on October 23 and 24, Macau on October 31 and November 1, and Los Angeles (LA) on November 14.
