"Beam" tops QQ Music’s Digital Best-Seller chart in just three days
Seventeen’s special subunit, Hoshi X Woozi, is making a strong presence on the Chinese and Japanese charts with their first album, "Beam."
"Beam" topped the daily and weekly "Digital Best-Selling Album" single category on China’s largest music streaming platform, QQ Music, on Wednesday, and secured the No. 2 spot on the annual chart. QQ Music ranks annual charts based on digital album downloads over the past year as of the chart announcement date, and "Beam" soared to the top ranks in just three days after its release. The No. 1 album on this chart is "Teleparty," released in January by another Seventeen subunit, BSS.
On the same day, "Beam" also entered Japan’s Oricon "Daily Single Ranking" at No. 3, showing a strong performance on Japanese music charts as well.
The music video for the album’s title track, "96ers," has also gained traction, making it to YouTube’s trending videos in multiple countries and regions, including South Korea, Japan, the US and the UK. With this momentum, it has secured a high position in YouTube’s "Music Video Trending Worldwide" rankings.
Hoshi and Woozi will participate in Seventeen’s full-group fan meetings in two Japanese cities from April to May, with a total of five shows. Before that, they will meet fans at Seventeen's ninth fan meeting "Seventeen in Carat Land" at Incheon Munhak Stadium March 20-21.
