AKMU Wraps up TV Performances Officially This Week… To Release New Album in Fall
[마이데일리 = 전원 기자] AKMU, “Korea’s brother and sister”, will release a new album in fall this year.
AKMU wraps up their TV performances on June 1, in SBS “INKIGAYO”, to start works on the new album immediately.
It is a very rare case for an YG artist to release a new album twice in a year, which means that AKMU has been working very hard so far. In an interview on the release of AKMU’s debut album, LEE CHAN HYUK once said that he has more than 80 new songs to disclose and the remark drew a big attention from music fans.
AKMU made their debut one year after winning SBS’s audition show “K-Pop Star 2” in April last year. With their debut album “PLAY”, they have been sweeping major music charts of Korea. “200%”, the title track of the debut album, swept all the No.1s of Korea’s 10 largest music charts, while all the songs included in the album were ranked in high places on charts.
Notably, AKMU’s music dominated daily and weekly charts, while sweeping the top places on six major music-streaming websites. Plus, on Gaon chart as well, AKMU took the No.1 in “digital chart”, “monthly streaming chart”, and “monthly download chart”, winning a triple crown.
Along with such a remarkable achievement, AKMU has also won the “triple crown” in Mnet’s “M-countdown” and SBS TV’s “INKYGAYO”, by taking the No.1 for three weeks in a row, which is a very rare case. Notably, AKMU is the first winner of the triple crown for “INKIGAYO” for this year.
