On the Show-stopping Single
Fresh off their success with their record-breaking third full-length album Sticker, NCT 127 released a repackage in late October, leading with the track, “Favorite (Vampire).” Their lead track has since garnered 32 million views and 1.5 million likes on YouTube. The video for “Favorite (Vampire)” has a sultry vampire theme that compliments the track’s emotional and nostalgic sound.
Since its release, the Favorite album has sold over 1 million copies. Combining Sticker’s sales, NCT 127’s third album now has over 3.5 million copies sold. Sticker sold over 2 million copies in its first week, earning a spot on multiple global charts, including the Billboard 200 Chart, where it peaked at number 3. This week, NCT 127’s third album remains on the top of BIllboard’s best-selling album charts with a number 4 spot.

NCTzen’s Favorite Vampires
NCT 127’s vampire-themed track has not only been a hit on the charts, but it has also been the object of inspiration for the nine-member group. Members Haechan and Jaehyun dressed up as classic Dracula-inspired vampires for Halloween. The two were bested by their bandmates Jungwoo and Taeyong, who dressed up as Twilight leads Bella and Edward respectively.
NCT 127’s “Edward and Bella” received recognition for their couple costume. The duo received attention from numerous brands, including Twilight, Lionsgate, and Teen Vogue.
