NEW ENTRY: QUARTET NIGHT “FLY TO THE FUTURE”
QUARTET NIGHT did the impossible and went Gold as soon as their new single “FLY TO THE FUTURE” was released. The single entered July’s chart (the first day of the subsequent month still counts) with only one day of sales and snatched a #5 from this month’s Single Chart.
A reminder that this single is going to be certified Gold Record by RIAJ (awarded to singles/albums that sell over 100.000 copies).
