{NEWS} 110916 INFINITE to release repackaged album, to promote new track produced by Sweetune

With the end of their “Be Mine” promotions from their 1st official album ‘Over The Top’, INFINITE fans have been eagerly awaiting news of their repackaged album.

On September 15th, the release date of their repackaged album was announced through INFINITE’s official fan cafe.

“Hello.

This is INFINITE’s fanclub manager.

I have an announcement regarding the good news that INSPIRITs have been waiting for.

September 26th, 2011!!!!! INFINITE’s ‘Repackaged Album’ will be released.

With its level of completion and musicality, INFINITE’s 1st official album was received well by many!!

This repackaged album will contain the original songs that were so loved as well as hot new tracks that are ready to receive good feedback from all of you.

INFINITE’s 1st repackaged album was ambitiously prepared during the down time in between busy promotions for “Be Mine”!!

If INFINITE showcased a sexy and charismatic masculine image during “BE MINE”, the 7 members will show you a colder and even stronger transformation this time around, so have high expectations!

We will strive to receive even more love than the immense amount of love you showed us during the 1st official album.

We ask for INSPIRITs’ interest and support.

Thank you.”

There’s no let up as INFINITE will be back to promote once more with a new track off their repackaged album, before leaving for Japanese promotions in November. The new track will also be produced by the composing team, Sweetune (Han Jaeho and Kim Seung Soo), the producers behind “Be Mine” and KARA‘s “Step”.

{NEWS} 110802 INFINITE tops weekly album sales

After sweeping the daily music charts with their official comeback album, ‘Over the Top‘, INFINITE is proving to be a formidable force in this month’s rush of comebacks, as they’ve also topped Hanteo’s weekly album sales!

The boys had experienced much difficulty during the printing process of their album, as well as had their teaser leaked, so clearing out 20,000 sales immediately after its release is all that more meaningful.

The album is still going strong, as it has a history of ranking first on online portal sites, live sales charts, and now to add to the list, weekly charts. Woollim Entertainment said, “This first album is the product of INFINITE’s sweats and efforts. We’re glad that their hard work has been properly delivered to their fans. We promise INFINITE will continue to work hard to improve.”

Just days into the release of INFINITE’s first official album, ‘Over the Top‘, the boys are not only sweeping the charts, but album sales as well.

They’ve ranked first on various digital music charts, but perhaps the most special feat is ranking first on music analyst site Hanteo’s real time chart, for achieving top album sales.

The album has been garnering considerable attention from experts, as Noh Jun Young, a music critic, praised, “INFINITE has definitely made a place for themselves in the music industry with a music and performance style all their own. INFINITE will soon become one of the leaders in creating K-Pop history.”
