UP10TION's Japanese Debut Breaks Records, Claims No. 1 On Tower Records' Best-Selling K-Pop Singles For 2017

UP10TION has topped this year’s list of Tower Records’ best-selling K-pop singles!

The idol group set a new record earlier this year with its Japanese debut, when its single album “ID” achieved the highest sales of any K-pop debut in Japan. UP10TION managed to sell over 167,000 copies of the album in just one day, breaking the record set by EXO in 2015.

The single, which was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan in March, debuted at the top of several Japanese music charts. Immediately after releasing “ID,” UP10TION hit No. 1 on both Billboard Japan’s and Tower Records’ daily charts, and the group also managed to reach No. 3 on the Oricon chart, trailing popular Japanese artists Sandaime J Soul Brothers and Morning Musume.
