The quartet has achieved an amazing feat for their comeback!
On May 27, SM Entertainment shared that aespa's first-ever full album "Armageddon" has officially reached the million milestone, with the album having gained a total of 1.02 million stock pre-orders ahead of its release.
To measure a content's exact pre-order figure, one has to calculate the estimated demand from fans, which transpires before the album's official release.
With aespa's "Armageddon" successfully claiming 1.02 million pre-orders, it's apparent how highly anticipated the group's comeback was among MYs and K-pop stans.

The album is also aespa's fourth album to surpass one million pre-orders, following their previous releases such as "Girls," "MY WORLD," and "Drama," which also emphasized the group's increasing following and solid core fanbase.
"Armageddon" will also be a hip-hop dance song containing heavy sound and rough tones. It will reportedly convey the feelings of "being reborn with a complete identity through meeting different versions of one's self in different worlds."
Apart from the album, aespa's pre-release track "Supernova" managed to achieve a "Perfect All-Kill" on domestic charts such as MelOn, Genie, YouTube, FLO, VIBE, and Bugs.
On social media platform X (Twitter), MYs celebrated the group's new feat in their career.
