Girl group XG (X-Girls), consisting of members Joorin, Chisa, Hinata, Harvi, Julia, and Maya, has achieved the top spot on both the Japanese Oricon and Billboard Japan charts with their comeback, showcasing their powerful 'NEW DNA.'
According to rankings released by Japanese Oricon on the 4th, XG's first mini-album 'NEW DNA' took the top spot on the weekly digital album chart and secured the second spot on the weekly album chart (for the period from September 25th to October 1st).
But that's not all. 'NEW DNA' also achieved the number one position on the Billboard Japan Hot Album Chart (for the period from September 25th to October 1st), demonstrating its presence on the global charts. It ranked in 57 countries and regions on the Apple Music Album Chart (200) and reached the second spot on the Apple Music Album Chart (Worldwide). Additionally, it secured the second spot on the iTunes Album Chart and was ranked in 18 countries and regions. The 'Worldwide iTunes Album Chart' also recorded it as the second-best.
Furthermore, according to Hanteo Chart, a music sales tracking site, 'NEW DNA' climbed to the second spot on the 'Daily Physical Album Chart' on the first day of its release (October 4th).
'NEW DNA' is an album that boldly depicts the concept of a "new species" that breaks away from convention.
The album includes a total of six tracks, including the pre-release track 'GRL GVNG,' which had previously topped the Billboard chart 'Hot Trending Songs Powered by Twitter,' and the title track 'PUPPET SHOW.' 'PUPPET SHOW' expresses the determination to lead life as one desires, drawing parallels with a puppet show.
XG plans to continue their active global activities along with the title track 'PUPPET SHOW.'
