From July 29 to July 31 KST, a total of 404,896 copies of Kang Daniel's solo album "color on me" has been sold in just 3 days. According to the statistics result from Hanteo Chart, Kang Daniel has set a new record of the highest album sales (the total number of albums sold in the first week since its release) of all time for male/female solo artists.
Even considering the standard of all albums released in 2019, this is still an astonishing figure. According to statistics of Hanteo chart as of 12 pm (KST) July 31, Kang Daniel's album "color on me" has reached No. 2 regarding the number of albums sold in the first week among all albums released in 2019, only behind BTS's "Map Of The Soul: Persona" sold more in the first week. In particular, considering that solo singers usually have lower album sales than groups, the score that Kang Daniel gets is a surprising record that helps the public truly feel "Kang Daniel's power".
Kang Daniel's album this time is like a gift for fans after his long hiatus. The male singer tried his best to complete the album as soon as possible. In that process, except for the intro, he partook in writing lyrics for every song on the album to deliver the most of his color. Therefore, the album, which inherently carries a deep meaning to Kang Daniel and his fans - becomes even more significant thanks to the remarkable records as if being the testament to the male singer's power.
To come closer to fans, from July 31, Kang Daniel will hold fan signs around major cities nationwide. Following Gwangju and Daejeon today (July 31), the singer will hold a fansign in Busan and Daegu (August 1) along with 2 fan signs on August 3 in Seoul. In particular, he plans to hold a public fansign in Busan and spend time interacting with more fans.

This article was written before the end of the 3rd day. Because actually Daniel is at 420k album sold in 3 days.
And even myself as a fan I'm surprised at how much he sell. I thought we will reach 300k in a week (and it's already an impressive number) but actually he sold more than 300k on the 1st day (I totally underestimated the fandom)
He also released a dance practice for "What are you up to" just a few hours ago. Check it out !
