[Edaily Starin Reporter Yoon Ki-baek] The group P1Harmony, which is active on the global stage, returns with its first full-length album.
P1 Harmony (Kiho, Theo, Jiwoong, Intak, Soul, Jongseop) will release their first full-length album ‘Killin’ It’ on the 5th of next month. On this day, the music video and sound source of the title song ‘Time Color’ will be released, and the album will also be released in Korea on the 7th and in the United States on the 9th. P1Harmony, which has expanded its musical world through each album, is expected to captivate domestic and foreign fans once again with this new album.
P1Harmony achieved the most notable results since its debut with its 6th mini album ‘HARMONY: ALL IN’, released in June of last year, 4 years after its debut. The 6th mini album sold 146,000 copies within one day of its release, exceeding the initial sales of the previous work (5th mini album, 132,000 copies), and sold about 250,000 copies in a week, 2 times higher than the previous work. The figure was close to double that.
P1 Harmony, who achieved a career high upon their comeback, gained momentum and achieved the feat of ranking 51st on Billboard 200, the first main Billboard chart since their debut. And the digital single ‘Fall In Love Again’, released in November last year, has been on the US radio charts for more than a month, proving its global popularity. On the 15th, it ranked 24th on the U.S. Mediabase’s Top 40 Radio Airplay Chart, staying on the chart for 6 consecutive weeks. It settled at 28th place on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart (as of January 20th), and has been on the chart for 5 consecutive weeks, making a long run.

What is noteworthy here is that P1 Harmony stands out on the US radio charts. In the United States, radio charts serve as an indicator of the popularity of a song in the American music market, but because they are calculated in a traditional way targeting mass media, they are still famous for having a high barrier to entry for non-English-speaking singers. P1Harmony showed its ability to successfully chart for more than a month after first entering this chart. In particular, it entered the Mediabase Top 40 chart at number 40 and ranked 24th, and on the Billboard Pop Airplay chart it entered at number 38 and ranked 28th, proving its popularity in North America by breaking its own records every week.
P1Harmony, which continues to show good performance on overseas charts, is also showing clear growth on overseas stages. P.One Harmony, which performed with approximately 30,000 local audiences last year by performing on the stage of ‘2023 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball’, the largest year-end show in the United States, will participate in ‘The Governor’s Ball’, a representative outdoor music festival in New York, USA, to be held in June. They are continuing their momentum by confirming their appearance as the first K-pop boy group to participate in The Governors Ball Music Festival 2024.
It is literally a global upward trend. We are looking forward to what P1Harmony, which has been the most active since its debut, will show with its first full-length album. P1Harmony has competed with trendy concepts and music in each album. Also, since P1Harmony has continued to grow musically through the members’ participation in songs, attention is focused on the stage and story they will show with their first full-length album, which will be released on February 5th.
