BTS member Suga has set a record for the biggest first-day sales for a K-pop solo artist with his official solo debut album "D-Day."

According to album sales tracker Hanteo Chart, the album, released under Suga's solo stage name of Agust D, sold more than one million 72-thousand copies on the day it dropped on Friday.

He inched ahead of the previous record set by fellow BTS member Jimin, whose  first solo album "Face" racked up Day-One sales of one million 21-thousand copies last month.
 
The album marks Suga's first solo project in three years and the final installment of his Agust D trilogy that began in 2016.
  
The album contains ten songs including the title track "Haegeum" and the pre-released "People Pt. 2" featuring singer-songwriter IU.

The tracklist also includes "Huh?!" featuring fellow bandmate J-Hope, and "Snooze," a collaboration with Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto who passed away last month.

Suga wrote, performed and produced all the songs on the album, further flexing his talent as a singer, songwriter and producer.

According to the group's agency Big Hit Music, "Haegeum" topped iTunes Top Songs chart in 86 countries including Britain, Germany and France as of 9 a.m. Saturday and its music video has surpassed eleven million views on YouTube.

The album has also topped iTunes Top Albums chart in 67 countries including the U.S., Canada and Australia.
