[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The group Tomorrow X Together achieved remarkable results on global charts and new album sales just one day after release.


According to Hanteo Chart, a music sales tracking site, Tomorrow X Together's mini 4th album ‘minisode 2: Thursday's Child,’ released the previous day, recorded total sales of 918,413 copies on the day of release, topping the daily album chart.


Tomorrow X Together surpassed the first-week sales of their previous full-length 2nd album ‘The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE,’ which sold 630,563 copies, moving one step closer to their first ‘Million Seller’ record since debut. This is the first time a K-pop group has recorded over 900,000 sales on the first day of a new release since BTS.


Earlier, as of 8 a.m. on the same day, Tomorrow X Together's ‘minisode 2: Thursday's Child’ topped the Worldwide iTunes ‘Top Albums’ chart as well as the ‘Top Albums’ charts in 43 countries/regions including the UK, Japan, and Brazil. The title track ‘Good Boy Gone Bad’ ranked number one on the iTunes ‘Top Songs’ charts in 19 countries/regions worldwide.


‘minisode 2: Thursday's Child’ is an album released before moving on to the next series following ‘The Dream Chapter’ and ‘The Chaos Chapter.’ It depicts the complex emotions of a boy experiencing his first breakup and, through this, the boy gradually learning more about himself and the world around him.


The title track ‘Good Boy Gone Bad’ is a hardcore hip-hop song with rock sounds that portrays a boy who was once pure but becomes engulfed in anger and feelings of loss after his seemingly eternal first love breaks apart.



This song has been praised as a ‘Generation Z breakup song’ that honestly responds to the dark emotions felt after a first breakup and depicts the boy’s transformation into a darker self with an intuitive and impactful melody.
