B.A.P Takes Number 1 On Hanteo Live Charts

In just one week of their comeback, B.A.P has taken an all kill on real-time, daily, and weekly Hanteo Charts.

B.A.P set a record with their 1st full length album First Sensibility, which they released on the 3rd. Their album sales are currently number 1 on Hanteo's domestic music sales chart.

Starting with the day of their album release on the 3rd, B.A.P took the number 1 spot on daily charts and dominated ever since then. They even ranked number 1 on both the real-time and daily charts on the 10th, and proved that they are worthy of being called 'mainstream.'

Even before their officially album release, B.A.P's pre-sales took them to the number 1 spot on nationwide music sales site's real-time charts. They ranked 4th on Japanese music site Tower Records' daily pre-sales and 5th on 'HMV Japan'. B.A.P had an explosive interest that crossed borders.

B.A.P's extraordinary feat doesn't end there. They also ranked high across 9 international iTunes Store Top 10 Hip-Hop Album Charts, taking the number 1 spots in Japan and Canada and 2nd in America and the UK. They were also recognized by Billboard for releasing a great album of various genres, and received a favorable review.

Billboard praised B.A.P for trying out gospel-rock, as well as other genres for this album, and recognized the group for their transformation, change, and growth. They also wrote, "While B.A.P has become famous for hard-hitting tracks that blend hip-hop and EDM -- see past releases like "One Shot" or "Hurricane" -- the act's new single, "1004 (Angel)," embraces pop more than ever." They also praised Jongup and Zelo, and wrote, "One of the visual's best moments comes from main B.A.P dancers Jong Up and Zelo, who have a TVXQ!-esque choreography breakdown once the beat kicks in. If the group ever considered a dance-focused, duo sub-unit, featuring the couple would undoubtedly produce a visually-thrilling concept."
