Jeonghan and Joshua's debut mini album topped charts in Japan and China and reached No. 1 on iTunes Top Albums in at least six regions.
SEVENTEEN's new unit JxJ, pairing Jeonghan and Joshua, has opened with a piece of Hanteo history: their first mini album DREAMSCAPE posted the biggest first-day sales ever logged by a unit album.
The duo debuted on Oct. 19 with DREAMSCAPE and its title track "12 o'clock." PLEDIS Entertainment announced the milestone, Soompi reports.
In its opening day of sales alone, DREAMSCAPE moved 656,011 copies. That figure sets a new high for albums released by unit groups on Hanteo.
The release also climbed charts well outside Korea. In Japan, the mini album reached No. 1 on Line Music's realtime Album Top 100. In China, it led QQ Music's digital bestseller albums chart.
On iTunes, DREAMSCAPE claimed the top spot on Top Albums charts in at least six regions around the world, giving the unit a strong international start.
The title track ran a parallel race on the song side. "12 o'clock" landed at No. 1 on iTunes Top Songs charts in multiple countries, among them Singapore, Argentina and the Philippines.
Taken together, the numbers mark a record-setting first day for JxJ, SEVENTEEN's new unit, with its debut mini album.
