This time, they’ve landed first in Astroplus and the Odyssey charts in the Philippines. According to ‘Astroplus’, “First Step” ranked in on their international chart, while ‘Odyssey’ revealed that the album was the sold most world album for the week of May 16th through the 31st.
The album was first released in the Philippines on May 21st, and fans were reported to have waited outside record stores by the thousands to purchase the album on the day of its release.
The members of CNBLUE commented, “We feel both amazed and glad that there are people who purchase our album in the Philippines. We promise to work hard to present better music.”
The boys were so happy about this that they sent this ‘handwritten Thank You message’ to their loyal Filipino Boices. It’s written in Korean, but here’s the English translation:
TO ALL OUR FANS IN THE PHILIPPINES,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL OUR FANS FOR MAKING OUR FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM “FIRST STEP” REACH NUMBER ONE.
