ATEEZ s ZERO: FEVER Part 2 has taken the No. 1 spot on Hanteo s Global Authentication Chart for March. Also, the boy group has set a new initial Chodong record for K-pop groups with their latest Korean release.
What is Hanteo s Global Authentication Chart?
Global Authentication Chart is a new ranking launched by international K-pop fans who authenticate their purchase of the artists album. When fans validate their purchase with the Hanteo Chart Authentication Card (HATS) that comes with the album, the music-related works (albums, merchandise) will appear on the Global Authentication Chart in real-time.
Authenticating the K-pop artists albums and merchandise through HATS, fans not only protect the copyright of the artist but also receive credit (points), which will be reflected on Hanteo s Global Authentication Chart, as well as in Star Chart. Hence, the rankings of the chart are based on global fans partic
What makes this achievement more remarkable is that IU s total sales within the fourth week of March were collected in just three days. From March 25 to March 28, IU s LILAC sold more than 240,000 copies.
Clinching the No. 2 position is BLACKPINK Rosé with her single album R, which was dropped on March 12. Based on the chart, Rosé sold 93,646 album copies from March 22 to March 28.
Rosé s single album placed first in the third week of March with a total of 358,742 copies sold. This is the highest Initial Chodong sales amount on Hanteo Chart among the female artists in history.
