82MAJOR
The group 82MAJOR stands out in the global market, entering the American Billboard charts a year after its debut.
With the second mini album “X-82” released on the 15th of last month, 82MAJOR (Seongil, Yechan, Seongmo, Seongbin, Seokjoon, and Dogyun) ranked 45th in “Top Album Sales”, 37th in “Current Album Sales”, 24th in “Emerging Artists”, and 15th in “Worldwide Sales”.
Notably, it is the only small and medium-sized agency to appear on the “Top Album Sales” chart, which falls under the same categories as the main chart, “Hot 100” and “Billboard 200”, which adds meaning.
On the American chart analysis platform Luminate, the group also achieved remarkable results, ranking 5th in the “Best New Artist Album” category and 13th in the “Current Independent Label Album” category.
Their musicality is already recognized locally. They are the first K-pop idol group to grace the digital cover of American hip-hop magazine “The Hike Magazine,” and the media praised them by saying, “The trendy musical sensibility and unique interpretation of the song captivated the audience.”
The members demonstrated their musical abilities by participating in the writing and composition of the songs for their debut album. Attention is focused on whether 82MAJOR, who established a team identity by working carefully on production, will be able to establish themselves as the next leader of K-pop.
