Baby Monster achieved two separate Circle certifications for their first mini album "BABYMONS7ER".
The regular edition of the mini album received a platinum certification for over 250,000 copies sold, while the Nemo edition was certified double platinum for over 500,000 copies sold.
Songs on this mini album include "MONSTERS," "SHEESH," "LIKE THAT," "Stuck In The Middle," "BATTER UP," "DREAM," and "Stuck in the Middle (remix)".
The mini album is quite special to the group because it is a 7-member album after Ahyeon rejoined the group.
In 2018, the Korea Music Content Industry Association implemented a new certification system for album sales, song downloads, and streaming.
Starting with tracks released on or after January 1, 2018, Circle Chart now certifies albums platinum upon reaching sales of 250,000 copies, while albums that have sold one million copies or more receive a "million seller" certification.
On October 19, Korean time, the YG Entertainment girl group released a preview for a new song from the album DRIP. They also revealed the group's first full album.
The preview track is titled “Billionaire,” a hip-hop track accompanied by powerful bass and guitars, perfectly showcasing YG’s iconic sound.
It is known that the album DRIP was released on November 1 at 1:00 p.m. Korean time.
Besides Baby Monster, ILLIT also has remarkable album achievements.
According to album distributors Genie Music and Stone Music Entertainment, rookie girl group ILLIT's new album, I'll Like You, has achieved pre-order sales of over 550,000 copies, breaking their previous record of around 210,000 copies pre-ordered for their debut project (Super Real Me) released in early March.
Following ILLIT's debut album that focused on capturing thoughts and emotions surrounding the idea of 'my true self', I'll Like You tells the story of oneself deeply immersed in an encounter with a friend they want to be closer to.
The five tracks follow the journey of the five members as they overcome moments of doubt, learn to listen to their hearts, and discover their own answers.
ILLIT's second mini-album I'll Like You will be available on all streaming platforms on October 21.
