WINNER's Debut Album Popularity Continues Overseas And Tops 4 Countries iTunes Top Album Chart

YG Entertainment's rookie boy group WINNER is winning hardcore in the K-pop industry.

WINNER topped the iTunes Top Albums Chart in four countries with their debut album titled "2014 S/S," which was released on Tuesday.

They were seen ranking No. 1 in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Indonesia while the boys were spotted in the "Top 50" in 19 countries and the "Top 200" in 30 countries.

Their title track, "Empty," was also spotted on the iTunes Main Single chart's "Top Single Songs" category in eight different countries. WINNER is truly living up to its name and on its way to accomplishing the goal the group made before debuting.

"In five years, we want to be Winner. And in five years, we want to be a group deserving of the name Winner. Hopefully we'll be in the middle of our own world tour so that when we come to New York in five years, we'll be having an interview about that," WINNER member Kang Seung Yoon told VICE.

The boys of WINNER were involved in writing and producing their recent debut album. Their hard work is paying off, as their single "Empty" shot to No. 1 on nine major Korean music charts, including Mnet, Olleh Music and Naver Music, according to the Korea Herald.

Other songs on the album, including their other track "Color Ring," made the top five on the charts as well.

The boys of WINNER, Kang Seung-yoon, Lee Seung-hoon, Song Min-ho, Nam Tae-hyun and Kim Jin-woo, will be making their official stage debut on Friday at the Auxiliary Stadium at Jamsil Sports Complex for the "AIA Real Life: Now Festival 2014."

Since their successful debut earlier this week, WINNER has already been getting positive attention and support from their fellow YG artists.

"If this is the way, it is okay to take a long time (to release an album)," wrote Korean pop sensation PSY on his Twitter.

Big Bang's G-Dragon also tweeted a link to the music video for "Empty" along with the caption, "Winner's 'Empty' Fighting!"
