Asian pop sensation Super Junior has topped several album charts with their fourth full-length album "BONAMANA," according to their agency SM Entertainment on Tuesday.
A press from SM revealed that the group conquered the weekly and daily album charts of music distributors Hanteo, Hot Tracks and Yes 24 since the release of "BONAMANA" Version A last Thursday.
Figures from Hanteo indicated that the record sold over 70,000 copies in just five days, becoming the album to sell the most number of copies in the shortest time span so far this year.
The fourth full-length album had racked up 200,000 preorders, another record for the 13-member boy band who had received up to 150,000 preorders for their previous top-selling album.
Version B of "BONAMANA" will go on sale on May 20 featuring behind-the-scene photos from the group's stage performances and music video shoots.
The boys recently gave their comeback performance on televised music programs last weekend singing the titled track "BONAMANA" and "Boom Boom."
They will be promoting the new album with only ten members since members Kang-in is planning on entering the army to fulfill his mandatory two-year service, Kibum will be focusing on his acting career and Hangeng is currently embroiled in a legal battle with SM.
Super Junior made their debut in 2005 with their first album "SuperJunior05 (TWINS)" and have also released several other studio albums including "Don't Don" and "Sorry, Sorry"
