Monsta X's latest cb Reason (2023) posted their highest first week sales ever. It broke the record set by Shape of Love (2022), the last cb they had, which in turn broke the record made by the one before that, No Limit (2021).
Their 7th anniversary and contract renewal was last year. Every member at the time save IM re-signed with Starship. Despite IM leaving the company, he and the other members stayed together as a group. Defying the curse, they're still releasing great music and growing as both artists and in sales.
What other groups do you know that have defied the curse?
