Girl group <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/hollywood-news/article/k-pop-group-blackpink-to-release-their-film-in-india-on-november-12-23199485" rel="nofollow">BLACKPINK`s</a> second full-length album has sold more than 1 million copies on its first day of sales, music industry sources said on Saturday, reports Yonhap.
The sources said, citing data from local albums sales tracker Hanteo Chart, `Born Pink` sold 1,011,000 copies on Friday.
This marks the first time that any K-pop girl group album has surpassed 1 million on the day of its release. The number is about 1.7 times more than the 589,000 recorded by the band`s previous studio album, `The Album`, on its first day.
The second album is expected to easily become the first-ever double million seller from any K-pop girl group as it has already surpassed 2 million copies in pre-orders.
The album is already popular on domestic music charts with two of its tracks in the top five of the Top 100 chart of Melon, South Korea`s largest music service. `Pink Venom` and `Shut Down`, the album`s main single, ranked second and third, respectively, on the chart.
`Shut Down` topped iTunes` worldwide song chart and top songs charts of 43 countries around the world. The album also reached No. 1 on the music service`s top albums charts in 54 countries, including the United States and Britain.
