The band DAY6 has achieved their first No. 1 on domestic music charts in their nine-year career with their latest release, Band-Aid.
On August 2 at 6 PM, DAY6 released their 9th mini album, Band-Aid, through online and offline platforms. The album’s name combines “band,” representing a rock group, and “aid,” symbolizing support, featuring a total of eight tracks.
The title track, “Melting Down,” shot to the top of Melon’s real-time TOP100 chart at 10 PM on the day of its release, marking the band’s first time reaching the summit of the charts since their debut in 2015.
In addition to the title track, all the songs from the album, including “Monster,” “She Smiled,” “Broken Game,” “Help Me Rock & Roll,” “Counter,” “I’m Fine,” and “Still Alive There,” entered the top 100, indicating a strong start.
Furthermore, their previous mini album, Forever, released in March, saw its title track “Welcome to the Show” along with older tracks “You Were Beautiful,” “Time of Our Life,” and “Happy” climb into the top 10 and 20 of the charts, solidifying their status as chart-toppers.
Notably, “Melting Down” managed to dethrone long-standing hits like aespa’s “Supernova” from the top spot across all major domestic charts, including Melon, Genie, Flo, and Bugs, achieving an all-kill.
The title track “Melting Down” conveys a message of hope, describing how everything seems to thaw out when “you” come along during times of despair. The track features an upbeat yet intense blend of melodic punk sounds, varied drum beats, and a dramatic chord progression, further uplifting the message of support and hope.
