While this is around 200k less than the first-week sales numbers for their last album, The World EP.Fin: WILL, there are several contributing factors that still make this achievement impressive. Firstly, their last album was a full-length studio album while this is an EP, which generally tend to sell fewer copies than full albums to begin with.

It also comes on the cusp of ATEEZ’s upcoming world tour, and many ATINYs have had to refrain from purchasing an album in order to save up for it. Along with the tour, they’ve also been releasing some popular merch lately — such as their ANITEEZ line of characters — so fans’ pockets have already been a little empty in the lead-up to this comeback! Many fans also attended Coachella to see their performance, which was not cheap by any means.

With all of that considered (or even without it, to be honest), 1.5 million units sold in the first week of release is nothing to scoff at. And here’s how people are reacting to this impressive news!
