Tours is enjoying a long run of success. Their debut song has exceeded 100 million streams.
Pledis Entertainment announced on the 9th, "Tours' song 'A First Meeting Doesn’t Go as Planned' has surpassed 100 million streams on YouTube Music as of the 7th."
'A First Meeting Doesn’t Go as Planned' is the title track of Tours' debut album. They released their first mini-album 'Sparkling Blue' last January.
They introduced a unique music genre to the industry, trying out 'Boyhood Pop'. Its bright and refreshing vibe resonated with the masses.
It ranked high on major domestic and international music charts. It reached No. 1 on Melon's 'Hot 100'. It also topped the daily and weekly charts on Bugs and Apple Music's 'Top 100: Korea'.
They received global critical acclaim. Tours was included in Billboard's '20 Best K-pop Songs of the First Half of 2024', ranking 3rd in that category.
Billboard described 'A First Meeting Doesn’t Go as Planned' as "captivating listeners from the first note. The dynamic variations offer an unexpected twist."
Meanwhile, Tours will be performing at 'Dream Concert World in Japan 2024' held at the Belluna Dome in Saitama, Japan, on the 11th of next month.
