SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – FEBRUARY 18: K-pop girl group NMIXX attends the 12th Circle Chart Music Awards … [+]
South Korean girl group NMIXX has quickly risen to become one of the top female acts in the K-pop scene less than two years after they first debuted. Now, their latest release solidifies their popularity with astounding sales records, helping them match an important record.
NMIXX’s new single album, A Midsummer Nmixx’s Dream, has already achieved a remarkable feat, selling over one million copies in their home country. What’s even more impressive is that the group achieved this milestone in just one week after the album’s release. According to Hanteo, one of South Korea’s most important music charts that tracks real-time music sales, the short project sold a staggering 1,030,541 copies in its debut week.
This achievement marks the first time NMIXX has reached the one million copies mark in a single frame, placing them in an exclusive collective of all-female names that have accomplished the same feat. They join the ranks of esteemed groups like Aespa, Blackpink, IVE, (G)I-DLE, and Le Sserafim, who have all seen at least one release sell one million copies in seven days, according to Soompi.
A Midsummer Nmixx’s Dream is NMIXX’s third single album, following Ad Mare and Entwurf, both released in 2022. These projects impressively claimed the No. 1 spot on the Korean music charts. The group continued their momentum with the EP Expérgo, released in March of this year, which has sold just under one million copies.
Now, after just a week of availability, A Midsummer Nmixx’s Dream is already proving to be the group’s bestseller, and it’s only the beginning of the set’s time on the charts.
The album falls under the category of a single album, featuring only a few songs. “Party O’Clock” and “Roller Coaster” are the two tracks included, with instrumental versions of both tunes accompanying them. Due to its short length, A Midsummer Nmixx’s Dream might not be eligible for charts in many other nations. However, in South Korea, where the rules are different, the title is expected to make a promising debut on the charts.
