aespa only took a day to overtake Blackpink, can you believe it?

The aespa girls are receiving great attention from the public after their comeback this July. Although it's only been a day since the release of a new album, aespa has already broken the all-week sales record for a female K-pop artist.

On July 8, aespa made an explosive comeback, satisfying fans' long-awaited expectations with the second mini-album "Girls" and the title track of the same name. Right after its release, the album was enthusiastically welcomed by fans.

On July 10, Hanteo Chart (the chart, statistics on physical sales of Korean idols) made an announcement that surprised the public: only on the first day of sale, this mini album sold 806,891 copies. This is an extremely "terrible" number in the history of Kpop music, breaking all previously established records.

With this data, aespa's Girls has broken the previous record of the group. Savage's first mini album 4 pretty girls sold 276,877 copies in the first week, while the second album took only a day to surpass that number more than 3 times. This is a great progress, a proud success of the SM Entertainment girls.

Moreover, with more than 800,000 copies sold, aespa's Girl helped them surpass Blackpink (589,310 copies sold with The Album on the first day of sales in 2020). This talented girl group has set a new record for the highest first-day sales of any female artist in Hanteo history.

Besides, aespa has also become the highest-grossing female artist in the first week in Hanteo history. Within just one day, Girls broke the previous record held by BLACKPINK's Lisa, whose debut solo album LALISA sold 736,221 copies in its first week of release. The previous record for girl groups was held by BLACKPINK's THE ALBUM and sold a total of 689,066 copies in the first week. This number will increase even more when the album is still open for sale and the first week sales will definitely reach a threshold worth admiring.

Even compared with boy groups, aespa can still be at the top, having the 4th highest first-day sales in Hanteo history, behind only BTS, SEVENTEEN and TXT.

Thus, it can be said that aespa only took a day to surpass the achievements of the previous senior. With great potential as well as strides that seem to be expanding in the future, this girl group is ready to become the new hit phenomenon of the Korean competitive music scene.

aespa was established in 2020 under the management of SM Entertainment. The group consists of 4 talented and beautiful girls Karina, Giselle, Winter and Ningning. As soon as they debuted with their debut single "Black Mamba", the group made a big splash.

In addition to the outstanding talent in each member as well as beautiful appearance, aespa's popularity and charm is partly due to the favor that the management company SM Entertainment has with special privileges.
