According to Hanteo Information System on Wednesday, “FLIGHT LOG: TURBULENCE” topped its monthly album chart in September, just four days after the album’s release. It also conquered Hanteo’s weekly album chart in the fourth week of September.
The album’s lead track, “Hard Carry,” garnered more than 9.1 million views on YouTube, as of 2 p.m. Tuesday. It also swept the iTunes album charts in other countries, including Finland, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.
