P1Harmony’s 10th mini album BLOW UP has set a new career-high sales record for the group, as well as catching the attention of international publications.

BLOW UP was released on November 6, 2026. It consists of six songs: the eponymous, hyperpop title track “BLOW UP,” “element,” “How To,” “MOMENTUM,” “t.o.t.y.,” and “Talk That.”

According to Hanteo, BLOW UP surpassed 540,000 sales on its release day. That figure is a career-high for the group by almost 100,000 copies; their previous album, UNIQUE, saw around 450,000 in March, which at the time was also a career-high. Together, the two see 2026 becoming a defining year for P1Harmony as their most successful period since their debut in 2020.

P1Harmony’s popularity has been growing year on year, but that growth only translated into major jumps in sales from 2024 onwards. Since the release of Killin’ It, each mini album has seen increases of 50,000, 70,000, and even 150,000 with UNIQUE. However, BLOW UP is especially significant due to its narratorial value.

The music video for “BLOW UP” sees the conclusion of the group’s hero storyline, a narrative that they have carried since their pre-debut days. This time, the members embark on their final mission, showcasing their superhuman abilities before they can at last leave this fictional world for a greater one. The song itself may already be teasing where they are headed next, musically — “BLOW UP” takes from hyperpop styles, the use of synthesizers and electric percussion leaning in a different direction than their usual high-energy, hip-hop sound.

Essentially, BLOW UP marks the conclusion of P1Harmony’s debut chapter and the beginning of another. Where their next release will lead them narratively is unclear, but wherever it does intend to take the group, they will be backed by the largest show of support they have ever received.

At the same time, BLOW UP has seen P1Harmony receiving more attention from the industry, especially internationally. The album has been the focus of an article from Billboard in the U.S., following the rise of P1Harmony’s UNIQUE to number four on the Billboard 200 earlier this year. Billboard is largely seen as a measure of a K-pop group’s success in the United States, with groups like Stray Kids, BTS, and ATEEZ racking up numerous number ones. For P1Harmony to finally be recognised, then, is a promising sign for their future.

As promotions continue, more figures for BLOW UP are still rolling in and will provide a bigger picture of its reception. The album is available on global streaming services now.
