1.79 Million Copies Sold: Riize’s ‘Odyssey’ Breaks Records in Japan!

Riize’s debut full-length album continues to dominate Oricon’s Weekly International Album Ranking, securing the top spot, SM Entertainment announced on Thursday.

The LP “Odyssey” has been sweeping major music charts in Japan since its May release. The album’s first-week sales exceeded 1.79 million copies, setting a new record for K-pop albums this year.

During their two-night concert series in Kobe, Japan last week, the boy band treated fans to a full performance of their LP, including “Same Key,” a track from their Japanese debut single album “Lucky.”

Riize is currently in the midst of their “Riizing Loud” world tour, with upcoming stops in Hong Kong this weekend and 11 additional cities, including seven U.S. locations and Mexico City. The tour, which kicked off earlier this month in Seoul, has already drawn over 30,000 fans across its three-day opening run.
