Boy band GOT7 surpassed sales of 300,000 copies of its new album “Flight Log: Arrival” last week, according to the group’s agency JYP Entertainment.

The album exceeded the sales of previous album “Flight Log: Turbulence,” which sold more than 230,000 records. The group reached the top spot on various music charts last week, as well as the Billboard’s World Albums Chart and iTunes’ album chart in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

GOT7 will unveil its fourth single, “My Swagger,” in Japan on May 24, and launch a concert tour titled “GOT7 Japan Showcase Tour Meet Me” across six cities in Japan from May 5. The band will also hold concerts at Tokyo’s Yoyogi National Gymnasium on June 24 and 25, titled “GOT7 Arena Special 2017 My Swagger.”

The seven-piece GOT7 is composed of JB, Mark, Jackson, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam and Yugyeom. The group debuted in January 2014 with its first EP “Got It?” which reached the second spot on the Gaon Album Chart and the top spot on Billboard’s World Albums Chart. The group grabbed attention for its unique on-stage acts incorporating martial arts skills.
