SHINee: “The Story of Light Epilogue” & THE SHINING Fan Party

SHINEE’S 6TH ALBUM “THE STORY OF LIGHT EPILOGUE” …

Comes 3 months after the release of Episodes 1-3. The new repackage includes 1 new song titled “Countless”. This new release was not promoted on music shows and only one teaser photo was shared the week before release. The song was previewed at SHINee’s “THE SHINING Fan Party” on Sept. 1~2, 2018. SHINee performed at the fan party without dancing and for the first time at a Korean event performed the whole show with a backup band like they do for their Japanese concerts (likely due to Onew’s injury mentioned at a previous festival). The setlist included: “Who Waits for Love”, “Tonight”, “If You Love Her”, “Beautiful Life”, “Aside”, “An Ode to You”, “Beautiful”, “Savior”, “Dream Girl”, “1 of 1/Married to the Music/Juliette” Remix, “Countless”, “You & I”, “Good Evening”, & “Our Page”. SHINee mentioned at the Fan Party that the event will be released on DVD~! ^^ “The Story of Light Epilogue” was ranked #9 on Billboard’s World Albums Chart the week of its release and “Countless” was #4 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart.

“THE STORY OF LIGHT EPILOGUE” RELEASE DATE …. 9/10/18~!

MUSIC CHART NOTES:

An Excerpt from our Music Chart Guide: “Korea has multiple digital streaming & purchasing services and each have a realtime chart of their own! Here is a list of the current Digital Services (each have their own chart): Bugs, Genie, Soribada, Olleh Music, Melon, Naver Music, Mnet music, & Monkey3. A great site that compiles all of these in realtime is Instiz iChart (updates every hour on Twitter). But the digital chart that gets recognized for year end awards is Gaon’s Digital Chart (Weekly, Monthly, & Yearly Charts). Gaon also breaks down their combined Digital Chart into Streaming & Download Charts. A prestigious thing for an artist is for a new album/ new song to debut with an “All Kill” – when an artist’s new song/album reaches #1 on ALL Korean digital charts during the first hour/day of release. The best ways for US fans to participate in these charts are: using free Genie passes (100 free stream passes are in physical albums). Streaming through these services WILL contribute to SHINee’s wins on music shows!”
