Busker Busker sells over 50,000 copies of its album in just three weeks



The popularity of the band Busker Busker is still heating up.
On April 19, Hanteo chart which sums up record sales of artists reported that by April 18, Busker Busker has sold over 50,476 copies of its first album which was released on March 29.
It is a remarkable figure to be achieved in just three weeks. Because the album’s supply and demand fell short and resulted scarcity of item, the achievement surprised fans even more.
Last year, there were only fifteen singing groups who had sold over 50,000 copies of album. Those groups were mostly “idols,” such as Super Junior, SNSD, TVXQ, JYJ, and Big Bang. So as a rookie band, Busker Busker has achieved something very remarkable, showing off its potential.
The band is also remaining strong in music market. Its title track “Cherry Blossom Ending” has ranked at the top of Billboard K-pop chart as well as on Melon and M.net for 12 days in a row. Even after four weeks since the release, it is firmly staying at the top of various music charts such as Naver Music and Cyworld Music.
The band is planning on giving an exclusive concert “Youth Bus” at Yonsei 100th Memorial Hall on May 5 and 6.
