TWICE's Upcoming Album 'READY TO BE' Exceeds 1.7 Million Stock Pre-Orders
TWICE has broken their personal records ahead of their much-anticipated comeback. With ONCEs excited for "READY TO BE," pre-orders for the album have already soared high.
Here's what happened.
TWICE Crushes Personal Record With 1.7 Million 'READY TO BE' Stock Pre-Orders
When it comes to album sales and pre-orders, most fans can agree that TWICE is one of the most best-selling groups in K-pop.
On March 8, JYP Entertainment officially revealed that TWICE's forthcoming mini album "READY TO BE" had exceeded 1.7 million stock pre-orders, as of March 7.
To clarify the idea of pre-orders, it is the amount of album stock that is generated before an album's official release. The concluded amount of estimated demands are derived from the number of albums pre-ordered before its release.
Additionally, TWICE also achieved a new feat. With their album "READY TO BE" surpassing 1.7 million stock pre-orders, it has also become the fifth K-pop girl group album ever to go over the 1 million stock pre-order record.
"READY TO BE" has now followed TWICE's previous release "BETWEEN 1&2," as well as BLACKPINK albums "THE ALBUM," "BORN PINK," and aespa's "Girls."
