TREASURE opened the first week of June 2026 with a sales run that put them back in seven-figure territory — and gave them a pattern, not a one-off.
How Did NEW WAV Reach 1 Million in One Week?
TREASURE's fourth mini album "NEW WAV" reached 1 million by selling 1,025,601 copies across June 1–7, 2026, topping the weekly Hanteo Album Chart for that period . The album also logged an Album Index of 985,018.44 points, and most of the first-week total landed on release day: 592,158 copies on June 1 alone, which topped the Hanteo daily physical album chart .
Quick Answer: TREASURE's "NEW WAV" sold 1,025,601 copies in its first week (June 1–7, 2026) to take No. 1 on Hanteo's weekly Album Chart, with 592,158 of those moving on release day — making it the group's second album to clear one million first-week sales.
The momentum was visible before "NEW WAV" even arrived. The album opened pre-orders in early May, and YG Entertainment confirmed via YG Life that pre-orders had crossed 1 million as of May 31, 2026, the day before release . That pre-order base set up a first-week tally that made "NEW WAV" TREASURE's second release to record over one million copies in its opening week, following the third mini album "LOVE PULSE" in September 2025 .
One detail worth flagging up front: the release shows up under two slightly different names. Hanteo's chart entry lists the album as "NEW WAV," while YG Life's official copy writes "NEW WAVE" . The primary sources don't reconcile the two spellings, so this appears to be a stylization or chart-entry difference rather than two separate products — both refer to the same June 1 release. It is also TREASURE's fourth mini album, not a second studio album, a label that belongs to 2023's "REBOOT."
"NEW WAV expresses TREASURE's diverse sides through the hip-hop genre, approaching audiences with even bolder and more intense charm," — YG Entertainment, via YG Life (source: YG Life).
NEW WAV Track List: Four Songs, All Hip-Hop
NEW WAV runs four tracks, all built on hip-hop-based sounds: the title track "IF I," followed by "ZOOM ZOOM," "NALLY-NA" (난리나), and "DANGER" . According to YG Entertainment, this is the first TREASURE release configured entirely around hip-hop since the group debuted, with executive producer Yang Hyun Suk leading and overseeing production across every track .
"NALLY-NA" is performed by TREASURE's rap unit — Choi Hyun Suk, Haruto, and Yoshi — and is credited in the YG listing alongside "HYUNHAYO" . The hip-hop framing is consistent across the project: YG described the record as expressing "TREASURE's diverse sides through the hip-hop genre," approaching listeners "with even bolder and more intense charm" .
The title track carries the clearest signal of intent. "IF I" is TREASURE's first title track composed entirely in English since debut, a choice YG tied directly to an explicit global-market strategy . That outward push is mirrored in the album's name. "NEW WAV" reads as a portmanteau of "NEW WAVE" — a new musical direction — and "WAV," the lossless audio file format, a pairing YG framed as TREASURE's commitment to their "raw, original colors" and the start of their "second chapter" of activities .
Taken together, the four-track set is positioned less as a standard mini-album cycle and more as a stylistic reset: a hip-hop foundation under every song, English-led songwriting at the front, and label messaging that treats the release as a deliberate turn rather than an incremental follow-up. The streaming and chart numbers that followed, covered in the next sections, gave that reset its measurable payoff.
IF I Music Video: Fastest 50M and 100M Views for TREASURE
The "IF I" music video set the fastest viewing pace of any TREASURE release to date, clearing 100 million YouTube views within roughly two weeks of its June 1, 2026 launch. Momentum was visible before the album even dropped: YG reported that the "IF I" music-video trailer had already passed 11 million views ahead of release . That head start carried into the full video's run.
The clearest pace marker came one week in. The "IF I" music video reached 50 million views at approximately 3 a.m. KST on June 8, 2026 — six days and nine hours after release — the quickest any TREASURE music video had hit that mark up to that point, according to YG figures relayed in Hanteo News reporting . The benchmark matters because view-count speed is one of the few standardized ways to compare a group's releases against its own back catalog without conflating eras or fan-base size.
The climb continued at a similar rate. An official YG Life entry dated June 13, 2026 recorded the "IF I" music video passing 100 million views, about 13 days after release . For a title track that YG positioned as TREASURE's first composed entirely in English, the video's reach lined up with the album's stated global-market intent rather than reading as a domestic-only result.
Taken together, the trailer, the 50-million mark, and the 100-million confirmation trace a steady, documented curve rather than a single viral spike — the kind of sustained streaming signal that tends to accompany strong physical sales rather than substitute for them.
Global Chart Positions: No.1 Album Chart, No.2 World Chart
On the Hanteo Chart, NEW WAV topped the weekly Album Chart for the first week of June 2026, selling 1,025,601 copies with an Album Index of 985,018.44 points across the June 1–7 tracking window . That No.1 ranking is the album's clearest chart result. On Hanteo's weekly World Chart, however, TREASURE placed No.2 with a World Index of 12,142.73 points, behind aespa, which led that same week . The split is worth noting: the Album Chart measures physical sales, while the World Chart blends a broader set of global signals.
Hanteo's country-specific chart for the June 1–7 week, which the company describes as drawing on real-time global K-pop data including albums, digital music, and social and portal activity, placed NEW WAV at No.1 in the Japan category with a Comprehensive Index of 17,245.77 points and at No.2 in the China category with 26,299.06 points, behind aespa . The table below summarizes where the album landed across these Hanteo measures for the week.
| Hanteo measure (June 1–7, 2026) | Position | Figure |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly Album Chart | No.1 | 1,025,601 copies / Index 985,018.44 |
| Weekly World Chart | No.2 (behind aespa) | World Index 12,142.73 |
| Country chart — Japan | No.1 | Comprehensive Index 17,245.77 |
| Country chart — China | No.2 (behind aespa) | Index 26,299.06 |
The first-week figure also marks a pattern rather than a one-off. NEW WAV is TREASURE's second release to clear one million copies in its opening week; the first was the third mini album LOVE PULSE, which logged roughly 1.13 million first-week copies after its September 2025 release . Back-to-back first-week million-sellers place the group in a higher sales tier than its earlier releases, which opened closer to 700,000 copies .
For scale, the 1.02 million total is best read as a repeated personal milestone rather than an industry record. SEVENTEEN's comparable first-week tallies exceed two million copies, so TREASURE's result sits well below the genre's current high marks while still confirming the group as a consistent million-seller . The combination of a domestic Album Chart No.1, a Japan No.1, and a China No.2 indicates the demand was spread across multiple markets, consistent with the album's stated global-market positioning.
Physical Editions, Streaming, and How Sales Are Tallied
NEW WAV shipped in two base physical formats — a photobook edition and a digipack edition — alongside individual member editions and a special edition, giving collectors several ways to buy in . Every physical version counts toward Hanteo, Circle (formerly Gaon), and Billboard, which means purchases from international fans, not only domestic buyers, feed the same chart totals . That multi-edition, multi-chart structure is part of why the first-week figure of 1,025,601 copies accumulated as quickly as it did .
Overseas distribution is handled separately by Columbia Records, and those shipments are tallied apart from the domestic Hanteo counts — so final cumulative totals may rise as international numbers are added to the first-week chodong result .
For listeners who skip the physical purchase, the title track "IF I" and the full four-song album were available to stream on all major platforms from the June 1, 2026 release at 6 p.m. KST . The takeaway is straightforward: NEW WAV is TREASURE's second release to clear one million copies in a single week, the editions and global distribution explain how the count climbed, and the digital availability kept the streaming side of the rollout open to fans everywhere from day one .
