[News] EXO’s first studio album ranks at the top on the Billboard World Album Chart

According to the latest Billboard ratings, released on June 14, EXO’s first studio album, XOXO (Kisses & Hugs), which was released on June 3, ranked first on World Album Chart for the first time. The World Album Chart is not the Billboard 200, which is the main album chart, but it is quite noteworthy for a rookie group who debuted just last year to rank at the top of the World Album category.

Even before the album’s release, the group was a success on iTunes charts in various countries. They also swept several of the latest weekly sales charts, including the Hanteo Chart, Hot Tracks, and Yes24.

According to the Hanteo Chart, the album sold 118,595 copies during June 3 to 9.

[News] EXO draws attention with their fascinating performance

EXO drew a lot of attention with their fantastic performance of the song “Wolf” from their first studio album. An official of their agency said today that the dance moves were the collaborative work of world-renowned choreographer Tony Testa and SM entertainment performance director Hwang Sang Hoon. The performance is so compelling from the beginning that watchers are not able to take their eyes off it.

Testa has done choreography for such world-class pop stars as the late Micheal Jackson, Kylie Minogue, and Janet Jackson. He also choreographed TVXQ’s “Catch Me” and SHINee’s “Sherlock” and “Dream Girl.”

The EXO members play werewolves in a forest wolf cave in their performance, which has a story to it, like that of a musical. They released their album in two versions (Chinese and Korean) at the same time and have started performing in both countries. It’s fun to compare the two different kinds of dance performance.

Their first studio album, XOXO (Kisses & Hugs), is sweeping various album charts.
