aespa recently made their much-anticipated comeback with the mini-album Whiplash, which has been extremely well-received by fans. The record has managed to secure the top position on the iTunes charts across various countries and has also made its debut in several international rankings.

On October 22, 2024, aespa’s Whiplash topped the iTunes Worldwide Album chart and ranked first in 17 different countries, including Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Turkey, Hong Kong, Brazil, Russia, Singapore, and more.

Furthermore, the album has made an impact in Japan, ranking No. 1 on the AWA real-time rising chart and Mora’s latest and daily foreign song charts. Not only internationally but domestically as well, the record has secured top spots on local charts like Melon, Bugs, and Genie.
