Big Bang member Taeyang [Official Taeyang website]
The limited edition of Big Bang member Taeyang's new album has sold out on the day of its release, according to the singer's agency YG Entertainment on Friday.
Offline and online record stores reported that the deluxe version of Taeyang's first full-length album "Solar" sold out within moments of going on sale, with the servers of several online retailers shutting down from too many shoppers logging on simultaneously, YG said.
"Some of the fans who were unable to purchase the limited edition even called our suppliers directly to inquire whether more copies would be produced but we were set on releasing only 30,000 copies and have no plans to produce more," explained YG.
A regular version of the album has been set to go on sale a week later but YG is considering pulling up the release date by a few days due to the high demand.
Meanwhile, the title track “I Need a Girl” and other songs from his album such as "You're My," "Just a Feeling," "Superstar" and "After You Fell Asleep" have placed within the top spots on numerous web-based music charts.
Taeyang, whose real name is Dong Young-bae, made his debut as a member of Big Bang in 2005. He is the first member to debut as a solo artist, releasing his first mini-album "HOT" in May 2008.
He also released two digital singles "Wedding Dress" and "Where U At" last November.
He gave his comeback performance on Mnet's televised music show "M! Countdown" yesterday, singing "I Need a Girl," "You're My" and "Just a Feeling."
