Korean all-male group GOT7 is sweeping its way to the top of music charts around the world as its latest album "Flight Log: Turbulence" is reportedly climbing the top of domestic charts as well as the top of iTunes album charts from different countries including the U.S.
Hanteo Information System announced on Wednesday, Oct. 5 that the winning entry for its September monthly album chart is GOT7's "Flight Log: Turbulence." The album made a record as it was only four days since release when it grabbed the top place of the chart. In addition, the album also dominated Hanteo's weekly album chart in the last week of September.
Furthermore, GOT7's "Flight Log: Turbulence" is currently making waves in the international music scene as it recently dominated the U.S. iTune album chart along with its lead track "Hard Carry" which landed on the 93rd place in the U.S. iTunes Top 100.
Soompi reported that the album instantly climbed to the second spot of iTunes a day after the album was officially released on Sept. 26 (EDT). Internationally, "Flight Log: Turbulence" also led the iTunes album charts in Asian countries including Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia, and Finland for Europe.
"Hard Carry" took over YouTube same day of the album release, getting over a massive 2.5 million views in less than a day. And as of 2 p.m. of Oct. 4, the song already went to more than 9.1 million views on YouTube, according to reports.
Following this success, JYP Entertainment founder and head Park Jin-Young expressed his happiness for the group's success by posting the album cover of "Flight Log: Turbulence" on Instagram. The executive referred to himself as the biggest ahgase (nickname for GOT7 fans) on his post.
"Almost 3 years since their debut and I still can't find a member who's not hungry nor humble. What an amazing group of boys. Let's hard carry the music scene! From the biggest Ahgase," Park wrote.
