JAKARTA - A new name has joined the million-seller line. Red Velvet, SM Entertainment's umbrella group, has officially become million-seller thanks to their latest album.

According to YTN, their latest album: The ReVe Festival 2022 - Birthday, which was released on November 28, has sold one million copies. The total obtained was 1,029,463 copies as of January 20.

This album is also the acquisition of the most pre-orders ever achieved by Red Velvet. Prior to its release, the Birthday album had already ordered 712,187 copies.

With this acquisition, Red Velvet proves that their career is still long with many new achievements made. In addition, this album is also ranked on iTunes and QQ Music.

The Birthday song as the main track contains lyrics that tell about the desire to return to the birthdays of the people they care about. On the big day, they want to make all their wishes come true.

Birthday used a sampling of George Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue song. Previously they also used classic song sampling for the song Feel My Rhythm.

“There is a big difference between this album and the previous ones even though both use classical music from the past. Feel My Rhythm feels more classic and elegant while Birthday sounds cheerful," explained Seulgi.

Red Velvet is also confirmed to appear at the Primavera international music festival in Barcelona in June this year.
