The KQ Entertainment group's latest mini album moved 370,935 copies from November 2 to 8, beating the 364,152 first-week mark of "ROUTE ZERO : The ORA."
xikers have a new career high. The KQ Entertainment boy group's latest mini album, ROUTE ZERO : The CALLING, sold 370,935 copies in its first week, Soompi reports, citing Hanteo Chart.
The first-week window ran from the album's November 2 release through November 8.
That total edges out the group's previous best. ROUTE ZERO : The ORA, released earlier this year, opened with 364,152 copies, leaving the new album just under 7,000 copies ahead.
ROUTE ZERO : The CALLING arrived November 2 with the title track "DIENAMITE," which Soompi described as intense.
In the U.S., the release had a physical home. @hello82SANDIEGO posted on X that hello82GO! SAN DIEGO carried exclusive albums, freebies and activities on the final day of a release event that ran November 6 to 8, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The group's own channels stayed light. @xikers_official posted on TikTok on November 5 with the caption "AH CHINJAW? #xikers #," a clip logged at 44,248 plays and 14,501 likes.
The bar belongs to xikers themselves: their last mini album set it earlier this year, and this one cleared it in seven days.
First Read lands Monday at 7 a.m. ET with the week's biggest stories. The Weekend Lexicon rounds it all up on Saturday.
