Ready to captivate our present-day world and across dimensions, Armeggedon marks an artistic evolution in aespa‘s musical journey by taking their narrative into an expansive multiverse to blur the boundaries between reality and virtual realms.
While the K-pop girl group is known for blending their real and virtual personas, their first full-length album explores parallel worlds, giving KARINA, GISELLE, WINTER and NINGNING infinite possibilities as both otherworldly idols and relatable young women navigating adulthood.
The adventurous spirit of Armageddon was set through the pre-released buzz track “Supernova,” when the group speaks of opening doors to different dimensions and brought to life by the title track single’s music video establishing the aespa multiverse.
Last year, aespa saw Drama: The 4th Mini Album peak at No. 33 on the Billboard 200, a far drop from their two prior entries landing in the Top 10. But already “Supernova” has been well super received by listeners: debuting at No. 5 on the World Digital Song Sales chart last week for the group’s highest position since 2021’s “Next Level,” plus rising to No. 19 on this week’s Billboard Global 200 for their first Top 20 single. With the promising start, a larger amount of tracks ready for streaming, and a larger range of sounds and themes tackled in the LP, Armeggedon looks poised to boost aespa back up the album charts to reestablish the girls’ place as a leading force in K-pop.
From the singles “Armageddon” and “Supernova” to what are sure to become new beloved b-sides like “Live My Life,” “Prologue,” and the fan-dedicated anthem “Melody,” here’s our ranking of the songs on aespa’s first full-length album Armageddon.
