Zero Base One (hereafter 'ZB1') has shaken the islands once again.
Billboard Japan announced its mid-year report for 2025 on the 6th. ZB1's Japanese EP 'Present' ranked 4th on the 'Top Album Sales' chart.
Notably, despite having no Japanese members, ZB1 made it to the top ranks. They are the only K-pop group to achieve a high position on that chart, proving their popularity in Japan.
Previously, ZB1 set a new record for their highest sales with the release of 'Present'. They ranked 1st on both the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking and the Weekly Combined Album Ranking.
'Present' is an album filled with the love of ZB1's fans. It serves as a gift to their devoted fanbase, known as "Zerose," who consistently offer unwavering support. The warm lyrics stand out.
The new album contains a total of 6 tracks, featuring 4 original songs and 2 Korean adaptations. It showcases a variety of genres, capturing ZB1's broad musical spectrum.
ZB1 made their mark on the U.S. Billboard main chart with their mini album 'Blue Paradise', debuting at 28th on the Billboard 200. They have set a new highest rank for the 5th generation of K-pop.
Recently, they stayed on 3 Billboard charts for 8 weeks. An official expressed hope, stating, "ZB1 is carving out their presence in the U.S., Japan, and the world's two largest music markets."
Meanwhile, ZB1 will attend the 140th anniversary celebration of Yonsei University on the 8th. They are preparing a performance that will heat up the campus.
