Wanna One tops local music charts

The main track of K-pop boy band Wanna One’s first studio album has swept local music streaming charts, data showed on Tuesday.

The song, “Spring Breeze,” topped seven local charts after the album was released at 6 p.m. on Monday, outperforming strong rivals - Jennie’s “Solo” and TWICE’s “Yes or Yes.”

The new album, “1¹¹=1 (Power of Destiny),” is the group’s first and probably last full-length album. The project boy group, comprised of 11 winners of music channel Mnet’s idol competition show “Produce 101,” started its group activities in Aug. 2017 for a limited time, with its deadline set at the end of this year.

The main track, “Spring Breeze,” whose hook lyrics are “Let’s meet again when spring breeze blows past,” is an alternative dance song with elements of synth-pop, guitar and dynamic percussion sounds.

It is reported that their group activities might get a brief extension to earn time for year-end activities and a concert early next year.
