Sales Performance
On November 14, 2024, Primrose made their comeback with their third mini-album, Heart Revival, featuring a title track of the same name. Within just one day of its release, the music video amassed over half a million views, an impressive achievement for a rookie group from a smaller company.
However, the physical album sales told a different story. According to Hanteo Chart, Primrose recorded only 7 copies sold on the first day, a surprising figure that sparked curiosity and concern among fans.
