Girl group IVE's third Japanese album, "Be Alright," sold approximately 165,000 copies in its first week of release, taking first place on the Oricon Weekly Album Rankings (dated August 11).
This is Ive's highest initial sales record, and a new record for the highest initial sales among foreign female artists this year according to Oricon. The album contains a total of five tracks, including the title track "Be Alright." The title track "Be Alright" contains the message of moving forward without fearing change, and since its pre-release, it has received positive responses on various charts, including Billboard Japan.
Congratulations on Ive's #1 spot on the Japanese Oricon! The song "Be Alright" is also great, and seeing Ive's continued growth makes me excited for the future!
Ive's album sales are amazing! I'm proud to say this is the highest record for a foreign female artist this year! I wish you continued success!
