ALPHA DRIVE ONE is proving their global impact even before officially debuting, sweeping charts at home and abroad with their pre-release single.
On December 3, the group dropped FORMULA, a track from their debut album EUPHORIA, across major music platforms.
FORMULA entered the Top 10 of iTunes Top Songs in eight regions worldwide — hitting No. 1 in Indonesia and Thailand, No. 2 in the Philippines, and No. 3 in Vietnam.
The track also claimed No. 23 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart, and reached No. 1 on Japan's iTunes K-pop Top Songs and Line Music's Top 100 real-time chart.
They performed strongly in Korea as well. FORMULA ranked No. 3 on the latest weekly charts of Melon and Genie, and secured No. 4 on the Hot 100 based on 30 days after release.
Global media took notice. Forbes U.S. published an article titled "ALPHA DRIVE ONE Ready for Debut," spotlighting the group's journey from survival show trainees to official debut members. The report praised their "powerful global fandom even before debut."
Produced by hitmaker KENZIE, FORMULA serves as ALPHA DRIVE ONE's declaration of "one team" — a track offering an early glimpse into the sound and identity of their debut album.
ALPHA DRIVE ONE officially releases EUPHORIA on January 12.
