Girl group Le Sserafim’s debut EP topped the iTunes Top Albums charts in 13 nations, according to Source Music on Tuesday.

The EP, “Fearless,” which dropped Monday with a lead track of the same title, topped the charts in Japan, Brazil, the Philippines and 10 other regions. It also ranked No. 2 in Mexico, No. 3 in Sweden and No. 7 in the United States and Germany.

Highly anticipated as “HYBE’s first girl group,” Le Sserafim is produced by Source Music, a label under the K-pop powerhouse known for boy band BTS.

Bang Si-hyuk — HYBE’s founder and mastermind behind BTS — participated in producing the title song “Fearless,” which also topped the iTunes Top Songs charts in Thailand and Indonesia among others.

The group consists of Miyawaki Sakura, Kim Ga-ram, Kim Chae-won, Hong Eun-chae, Kazuha and Huh Yun-jin. Sakura and Kazuha are Japanese. Sakura and Kim Chae-won are already well-known as former members of girl group IZ*ONE, a project girl group formed by the 12 finalists of Mnet’s hit idol audition program “Produce 48” (2018). Huh was also a contestant on "Produce 48."
