With over 1.2 million copies sold on the first day, “SANCTUARY” has secured its place as a landmark in their hits catalog. While it has mostly impacted South Korea, the mini-album also made moves on international charts. It secured the second stop on the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart and hit No. 1 in 25 countries/regions as of November 5. The EP is also expected to debut in the top 5 of the Billboard 200.
Meanwhile, the mini-album’s main single “Over the Moon,” captures the charming themes of “SANCTUARY.” The song and video, with an upbeat tempo and a spicy choreography, are the perfect introduction to this hit era by TXT. Watch the video below:
