The group 82MAJOR is shining their presence in the global music market.

82MAJOR (Nam Sung-mo, Park Seok-jun, Yoon Ye-chan, Jo Sung-il, Hwang Sung-bin, Kim Do-gyun)‘s 2nd mini-album ‘X-82 (X-82)’, the title song ‘Stuck’, ranked 19th on the US DRT ‘GLOBAL TOP 150 INDEPENDENT AIRPLAY CHART’.

It is also showing a rapid rise, entering the DRT ‘GLOBAL TOP 200 AIRPLAY CHART’ at 139th place.

82 Major released their second mini album ‘X-82’ last October and are meeting fans at home and abroad with the title song ‘Tip of the Tongue’. This album ranked 45th on Billboard Album Sales, 37th on Current Album Sales, 24th on Emerging Artist, and 15th on World Sales, making it onto the Billboard charts just one year after their debut.

At the same time, they ranked 5th on Luminate’s Top New Artist Albums, 13th on Record Label Independent Current Albums, 36th on Heatseekers Albums, and 20th on Internet Albums, establishing themselves as a rising powerhouse among the 5th generation idols.

In this way, 82 Major has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with not only in Korea but also overseas. They are expanding their musical spectrum. They are especially loved in the United States, and their second entry into the DRT radio chart following their last album raises expectations for their future growth.

82MAJOR will hold their third solo concert ‘Etume Boom (82MAJOR BOOM)’ on January 18-19, 2025 at Yes24 Wonderlock Hall. Tickets for this concert were sold out as soon as they opened for sale.
