Taeyang Kills Charts with New Album “Rise” + Physical Album Details

Big Bang’s Taeyang, finally back with his long-awaited second solo album “Rise,” has achieved an ‘all-kill’ on the music charts.

The album was released midnight June 2, and in just three hours, title track “Eyes, Nose, Lips” hit the top of ten real-time music charts, including Melon, Mnet, Olleh Music, Naver Music, Daum Music, and others. The title track has also hit the Melon "roof" twice since release. Moreover, other tracks such as “1AM,” “Body,” “This Isn’t It,” and “Let Go” also ranked in the top ten on the charts.

This is Taeyang’s first comeback in four years since his 2010 release of “Solar.” Although there is only one title song for the new album, fans can expect three music videos: one for “Eyes, Nose, Lips,” one for “1AM,” and one for “Body,” which will be the follow up song to the title track. The music video for “1AM” will be released on June 10 at 1:00 AM, in conjunction with the album’s physical release. The music video for “Body” is expected to be released mid-June.

Also Taeyang’s “Rise” album is now available for presale! From June 3 through June 9, the limited edition deluxe version of the album will be on sale (10,000 copies available), as well as two different versions of the regular album.

The limited edition will feature a booklet (128p), CD, two posters, and three photo cards, and will be for sale only on YG’s eSHOP. The regular album will contain a booklet (48p), CD, one poster, and one sticker, and is available on YG eSHOP, YG eSHOP CHINA, and YG eSHOP TMALL.
