Top Korean boy band Big Bang's latest album has reached double platinum in Taiwan.
Big Bang's new record came after moving over 20,000 copies of their fifth-mini album "ALIVE" in Taiwan, their local promoter Warner Music Taiwan said in a release.
The news comes as no surprise as "ALIVE" has been the best-selling K-pop album of the week upon its release on March 23, based on the country's major music charts-- G-MUSIC and FIVE MUSIC.
"Their fifth-mini album 'ALIVE' is running out of stock right now. It's amazing to see such a feat since they have yet to promote themselves in the country," an official with Warner Music Taiwan said in the statement.
Big Bang -- composed of members G-Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, Daesung and Seungri -- has been performing "BLUE," "BAD BOY," "NO FUN" and "FANTASTIC BABY" on various televised music programs in Korea.
