Last year, EXO‘s Sehun and Chanyeol quickly took over the charts and swept numerous records when they made their dynamic subunit debut as EXO-SC. On July 13, they made their first comeback with the release of their first full-length album 1 Billion Views and proved they are a seriously powerful force once more!
With various music sites updating their charts to reflect the period of July 13 to July 19, EXO-SC has claimed top spots on weekly album charts including Hanteo Chart, Synnara Records, Yes24, and Hot Tracks.
That, however, was just the domestic charts. EXO-SC also took no. 1 on the Digital Sales Chart from QQ Music, Kugou Music, and Kuwo Music. To top it off, they also ranked no. 1 in 51 regions around the world on iTunes‘ Top Album Chart.
In addition to completely dominating the charts, EXO-SC also grabbed some new records. According to the Hanteo Chart, 1 Billion Views sold a total of 412,588 copies in the first week, breaking the record for the highest first-week album sales by a subunit on Hanteo.
On QQ Music, meanwhile, EXO-SC claimed a Double Platinum certification selling over 80,000 copies, and snagged the record for doing so in the shortest amount of time in 2020.
Congratulations EXO-SC!
Now we’re off to celebrate with “1 Billion Views”!
