In addition, LOONA also took a spot on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart by claiming No.32, proving that the group and their album are gaining great popularity from global fans, and that their comeback was highly-anticipated after not releasing anything for over two years and five months.
Earlier this month, LOONA's third mini-album, "12:00 (Midnight)," had garnered a lot of attention after previously peaking at No.112 on the Billboard 200 chart. This is a noteworthy achievement as LOONA came from a small company, and entering the Billboard 200 chart is already a great achievement in itself.
Subsequently, after the release of LOONA's fourth mini-album, "&" topped iTunes' Worldwide chart for three days in a row, and also topped iTunes' Album charts in over 36 different regions, including the United States.
LOONA also bagged a first place win on music shows in Korea as soon as they performed with their comeback stage.
Meanwhile, a lot of attention is focused on LOONA as they continue to break records and achieve more milestones with their new mini-album.
