In a remarkable display of success, SM Entertainment’s newly minted boy group, RIIZE, has catapulted to stardom, earning the prestigious title of a “million seller” within just a week of their debut. This monumental achievement not only sets a new standard in the K-pop industry but also marks a historic moment, illustrating the group’s immense potential and the significant impact of their debut album “Get A Guitar”.
RIIZE burst onto the scene last week, captivating audiences with their highly anticipated first single album “Get A Guitar”, accompanied by an equally engaging title track that shares the album’s name. The group’s vibrant energy and unique sound have quickly resonated with fans, propelling them to a level of success that is rarely seen with new groups in the industry.
According to the latest data from the Hanteo Chart, RIIZE’s “Get A Guitar” has achieved a staggering sales figure of 1,016,849 copies within the first week of its release, spanning from September 4 to 10. This accomplishment not only showcases the group’s widespread appeal but also cements their place in K-pop history as the first group not formed through a survival show to surpass the 1 million sales mark with their debut album.
Moreover, when considering groups formed through survival shows, RIIZE stands as only the second artist to reach this milestone in Hanteo’s recorded history, joining the ranks of the “Boys Planet” project group ZEROBASEONE, who earlier this year became the pioneers in achieving this remarkable feat.
As RIIZE continues to carve out their path in the K-pop scene, they are not just setting new records but also raising the bar for what debut groups can achieve. With a start as promising as this, the industry and fans alike are keenly watching, ready to witness the heights that RIIZE is poised to reach in their burgeoning career.
