P1Harmony Scores Career High with First English Album 'EX' Charting in Billboard 200 Top 10
K-pop group P1Harmony is writing a new chapter in their growth story, achieving consecutive career highs with their latest release.
Their first full English album, 'EX,' meticulously crafted for the North American market, showcases the group's fresh charm. The album features all tracks in English and Spanish, designed to foster a deeper connection with their overseas fanbase.
P1Harmony has demonstrated their potential by debuting at number 9 on the Billboard 200 main album chart for the October 11th edition. They also secured the second position in Top Album Sales, Top Current Album Sales, and Independent Albums categories. Furthermore, the album ranked 15th on the Vinyl Albums chart and 7th on the Artist 100 chart. The latest chart update (October 18th) shows P1Harmony maintaining their momentum, re-entering the Billboard 200 at 179th place for two consecutive weeks.
This marks a significant achievement, as P1Harmony has now placed five consecutive works within the upper echelons of the Billboard 200. This includes their 6th mini-album 'HARMONY : ALL IN' (2023), their first full-length album 'Killin' It,' their 7th mini-album 'SAD SONG,' their 8th mini-album 'DUH!,' and now their first English album 'EX.' This accomplishment fulfills their goal, stated approximately a year ago during the 'SAD SONG' release interviews, to reach the Billboard Top 10.
The new album also signifies a leap in musical artistry. P1Harmony has consistently participated actively in their album production, solidifying their distinct group identity. With this English album, they have taken a step further, engaging more deeply as creative producers across the entire project. Not only did they participate in the creation of most songs, but they also meticulously refined the pronunciation and naturalness of expression in a non-native language, infusing the album with P1Harmony's unique charm and innovative attempts.
The title track 'EX' is a culmination of P1Harmony's musical capabilities. Built on an easy-listening foundation, the song captivates listeners with its comfortable melody and sophisticated digital sound. Following the sentiment of their digital single 'Fall In Love Again,' which garnered attention on US radio charts, 'EX' targets global tastes with its smooth and sensuous sound. It differentiates itself by allowing listeners to experience P1Harmony's unique emotion and high level of completion within its seamlessly immersive rhythm.
Coinciding with the album's release, P1Harmony is currently on their 'P1STAGE H : MOST WANTED' tour, engaging with fans across eight North American cities since September 27th. This direct interaction on stage, aligned with an album targeting the North American audience, is recognized as a shrewd strategy by P1 অবস্থানের.
With this new release, P1Harmony has further expanded their musical prowess, overcoming language barriers and earning critical acclaim from global listeners. They have once again proven their immense potential and capability. The global music market is keenly watching how far the influence of P1Harmony will extend as they continuously broaden their musical horizons.
Fans are ecstatic, commenting, 'P1Harmony never disappoints! This album is truly amazing,' 'The international fan reactions are incredible, and it clearly paid off,' and 'I'm even more excited about their future!'.
