Their mini album ‘HOT’ has made its way onto several notable charts, including the ‘Top Album Sales’ and the ‘Album Download’ charts. Notably, they were the only fourth-generation girl group to chart on the ‘Download Album’ category. Their Japanese and Korean singles have also found a place among the top ranks, demonstrating their widespread appeal.
