MONSTA X's successful run with "Fatal Love" adds a new notch with the top of Hanteo Global Charts for the month of November.
According to the Korean real-time album sales monitor, Starship Entertainment's six-member boy group placed first place on Hanteo's global monthly charts for the second and third week of November, dated November 9 to 15, and 16 to 22. The record counting company declared MONSTA X as the first place in the global monthly chart for November.
With MONSTA X's talent, they have received enthusiastic response from all over the world, steadily building their global fanbase since they debuted. Earlier this year, on Valentine's Day, MONSTA X released its sixth studio album and first English-language studio album, "All About Luv." In the United States alone, their album peaked at the fifth spot at the US Billboard 200 charts, and reached third spot at Billboard's Top Album Sales Chart. "All About Luv" also secured spots in album charts for different countries - Canada, Croatia, Portugal, Spain, Japan, Switzerland, and more.
Tamar Herman, reviewing the album for Billboard, described "All About Luv" as a "pure blown pop album full of tracks that relay the emotions of romance," adding the tracks' "an overwhelming sense of sentimentality and smoothness."
Furthermore, MONSTA X has been receiving positive reviews from American media outlets Rolling Stone, Variety, and People, having a special appearance at Time Magazine's TIME100 Talks event.
In May, the group made its first Korean comeback with its eighth EP "Fantasia X," a commercially successful work that has peaked at the second spot of the South Korean Gaon Albums chart, as well as fifth in Billboard's US World Albums.
MONSTA X released its third full-length studio album, "Fatal Love," on November 2. Their latest album marked Hyungwon's first song, "Nobody Else," receiving writing, composing, and arrangement credits for the song.
The album has been positively received, with its lead single "Love Killa" earning MONSTA X two separate music show wins: one for SBS MTV's "The Show" and another from MBC M's "Show Champion."
Additionally, MONSTA X's unstoppable return extended to the group's social networking sites, with their Naver V LIVE comeback show last November 3 receiving almost one million views, receiving more than 1.5 billion hearts on the platforms since it premiered. The music video for their latest lead single, "Love Killa," has close to 26 million views on YouTube, a month after its November 1 release.
Finally, before their Hanteo victory for November, MONSTA X recently earned its first Daesang at the 2020 Asia Artist Awards last November 28. The Starship Entertainment talent was awarded the Grand Prize for Stage of the Year, marking the first AAA Daesang for the talent management company.
"It's such an honor to receive the first grand prize in the sixth year of our debut.It's a great honor for us to receive this meaningful award, but we'll be grateful that this award is given by MONBEBE," the group's statement read. In their AAA performance, the boy group conquered the stage with renditions of "Stand Together," "Fantasia," and "Love Killa."
