Super Junior's 5th album 'Mr. Simple' has set a record for selling over 500,000 copies.

According to Gaon on April 13th, 'Mr. Simple', which was released August 3rd, 2011, sold about 502,830 copies by the end of March 2012, which proves Super Junior's immense popularity.

Super Junior's half-million record sales have only been achieved by 2 other artists, namely Kim Gun Mo in 2003 with his 8th album 'Hestory', and TVXQ in 2008 with their 4th album 'MIROTIC'. As soon as 'Mr. Simple' was released, it not only dominated the music charts in Korea, but also in Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, and other countries. Super Junior also set a record in Taiwan for their track "Bonamana", which held the #1 position on KKBOX's chart for 63 weeks straight. "Mr. Simple" is following in its footsteps by holding the #1 spot for 34 weeks straight now.
