The Crown Prince Is An Idol Part 1

199

Chapter 199

Unlike the things that make our heads hurt, <Insanity>'s performance soared.

Immediately after its release on November 1st, it immediately rose to the top of the Grapefruit chart Hot 100, which is full of music powerhouses, and gave off an unusual vibe.

By the end of the first week of activity, they had broken into the top 10 of the Top 100 chart, showing off their awesome power.

"At this pace, I think we can aim for a top 5 finish next week or the week after."

"That would be nice, but......."

"Um, that's right. I think the timing is a little vague."

Manager Hyung, who was briefing the members in the conference room of the Sigma Entertainment building, scratched his head with an awkward expression.

I knew exactly what part he was talking about.

"We've avoided other idol groups quite well, but we've come across so many solo artists who are strong on the music charts."

"It's exactly as Karis said. You know our album's performance is beyond words, right?"

The members all nodded.

Our second mini album set both a new record and an all-time record by selling 1.88 million copies in its first week.

It has once again set a career high, easily surpassing <Eternity> 1.55 million copies.

Thanks to the overwhelming album performance, <Formula> received the highest album score in every music show ranking announcement.

However, since solo artists who are stronger in streaming than in album sales are releasing new songs, we are not able to take home that many trophies on terrestrial TV.

It seemed like we were riding the wave of popularity by winning first place at SBM, the only place we had not received a first place trophy during our <See The Light> promotions, but we only came in second and third in other places.

"We're always ahead in terms of album sales and broadcast participation scores, but the problem is this song. Right now, Hwanjo and Plea are lining up on the charts."

"We're a little behind here, that's what you mean."

"It's a shame......."

Yoo Minha rested his chin on both hands and let out a small sigh.

Everyone had high expectations for this album, so they probably wanted to collect even more trophies than they have so far.

But it is still too early to be heartbroken.

I cleared my throat and spoke quietly.

"It's only the second week, and the charts are still on an upward curve. There's a good chance we can turn things around this week and next week, so don't be too discouraged, Min-ha."

"That's right! And since we'd be active for 4 weeks this time, we'll definitely get better scores when we get there."

Kang Si-yoon reacted quickly and livened up the atmosphere by adding lively comments.

He's a friend who often causes trouble, but thanks to his quick wit, he's very good at appeasing his younger brothers in this way.

"Yeah, and there will be pre-recorded YouTube variety shows coming out soon. We can look forward to it."

"I think the sound source is doing really well to this extent."

Chae Eun-gyu nodded and smiled at our manager's words.
