EXO Doh Kyung Soo's Comeback Album 'BLISS' Hits iTunes Top Album Charts Worldwide
Being able to create a track that'll end up on any music streaming service is always hard work, let alone an entire album. But that is just what the iconic D.O. (디오) did. It has been more than a year since the singer released any new albums, with the last being the third mini-album, 'Blossom'. Since then, he has focused more on his role in the Korean group EXO (엑소) and acting. He took that time between albums to ensure that 'BLISS' would be a spectacular project aligned with his new musical direction. On the 7th July (Monday), the 10-track was released on all streaming platforms, and it quickly rose to popularity. The actor's first-ever full album topped iTunes Charts in more than 20 regions, including Malaysia. Doh Kyung Soo (도경수), also known as D.O., is a member of the eight-member boy group EXO. Beyond music, he's widely recognised for his standout roles in 'It's Okay, That's Love' and '100 Days My Prince'. After his contract with SM Entertainment ended, he parted ways with the company, and soon after, he co-founded Company SooSoo with his longtime manager to pursue his solo and acting career independently. This isn't the first time D.O. has been seen on iTunes Top Charts, however. His mini-album 'Blossom' had been a huge hit worldwide, reaching #1 in 36 regions with all six tracks charting domestically as well. He gained more popularity since his journey to become an independent artist, showcasing his well-earned title as one of K-pop's most talented and beloved artists. The 'Secret: Untold Melody' star's return to the music scene with his debut full-length album, 'BLISS', has been met with resounding success. The title track, 'SING ALONG!', has topped iTunes song charts in over 12 countries. Additionally, the album itself has secured the No. 2 spot on the worldwide iTunes charts and No. 4 on the European charts. These impressive achievements underscore D.O.'s enduring popularity and the global appeal of his music. His ability to connect with audiences worldwide, even as an independent artist, highlights his exceptional talent and the strong bond he shares with his fans. As he continues to evolve as an artist, D.O.'s future endeavours are highly anticipated by music enthusiasts around the globe. Here is the title track of D.O.'s comeback full album 'BLISS': Sources: Allkpop, Tenasia Zaima Humaira contributed to this article

The Doors Surge On iTunes As The Band Celebrates Six Decades
The Doors surge on iTunes charts as The Very Best of The Doors hits No. 13 and both "Lift My Fire" ... More and "Riders on the Storm" return after a major CBS interview. UNSPECIFIED - CIRCA 1970: Photo of Doors Photo by MichaelThe two remaining members of The Doors, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore, recently took part in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning to celebrate 60 years since the founding of the iconic rock group. The musicians – who have largely been supporting the band's highly-prized catalog, rather than working on new music – were also promoting an upcoming new book titled Night Divides the Day: The Doors Anthology, which arrived this spring. The musical legends are benefiting from renewed interest in their music, generated by the publicity, as Americans are returning to some of the band's classics once again. The Doors Return to the iTunes Albums Chart The Doors are currently climbing multiple iTunes charts in the United States. The band sits highest on the iTunes Top Albums ranking, where The Very Best of The Doors looks like it might soon break into the top 10. The compilation, which gathers together many of the group's most familiar tracks, rockets more than 150 spaces and lands at No. 13. At the same time, the band's self-titled full-length reenters the 200-spot roster at No. 97 — and it could climb further in the coming hours and days. "Riders on the Storm" and "Light My Fire" Reappear The Doors also occupy just as many spaces on the iTunes Top Songs tally, scoring a pair of bestselling cuts with "Riders on the Storm" and "Light My Fire." The two compositions have long reigned as some of the most easily recognizable entries in the group's discography, and both now reappear on the list of the bestselling songs on iTunes in the U.S. "Riders on the Storm" narrowly cracks the upper half of the list, settling at No. 97, while "Light My Fire" comes in at No. 114.
