NCT WISH Turn I SPY Into a Chart Sweep Just 10 Days After Release

NCT WISH's fourth mini album, I SPY, sold more than 1.2 million copies within a single day of its October 12 release, making it the group's fourth consecutive million-seller. The numbers have carried through the week: the album is now No. 1 on three separate weekly charts.

On Hanteo Chart, I SPY took the weekly top spot. In the Circle Chart rankings announced on the 22nd, it placed first on both the Album chart and the Retail Album chart, a double win. It also led the weekly Global K-Chart for October 12 to 18, which combines data from Korea's Melon, China's Tencent Music and Japan's LINE MUSIC.

A second million-seller year

The milestone follows the group's first full-length album, Ode to Love, released in April. With I SPY arriving in the second half of the year, NCT WISH has now had a hit release in both halves of 2026, which suggests the group's momentum is holding rather than peaking on a single comeback. NCT WISH is the SM Entertainment act that debuted under the NCT umbrella, so the sales run carries extra weight for the brand's newest unit.

I SPY contains six tracks, including the title track of the same name, built around a range of emotions. The group is now entering its second week of promotions.
