'Minisode 2': TXT get 1.4M pre-orders, fans flex '10th most pre-ordered album'

TXT's previous album ‘The Chaos Chapter: Freeze’ had garnered 700k pre-orders 10 days before the comeback had made 917k actual sales

TXT is probably about to have their best-selling album yet with the upcoming release of ‘Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child’. After just 15 days of the pre-orders beginning, it has been reported on April 30 that the album has accumulated more than 1.4 million pre-orders. This is TXT's highest pre-orders ever for any album of theirs. This number is expected to go higher as fans are aiming for 2 million with the release date set for May 9, which means MOAs (TXT’s fandom) has 10 more days left for pre-ordering.

‘Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child’ is already TXT’s highest-selling album as the record was previously held by their 2021 release ‘The Chaos Chapter: Freeze’ which has made over 917k sales. It had also become the longest-charting K-pop album on Billboard in 2021 as it stayed on Billboard 200 for 13 weeks straight since its release. TXT’s album was also on Billboard World Albums and Top Current Album Sales charts for 20 weeks in a row.
