“Sticker” offers a mix of genres from hip-hop and R&B to pop and dance in a total of 11 tracks, including the title track “Sticker,” “Lemonade” and “Breakfast.” It sold about 2.15 million copies during the first week.

NCT 127 debuted in 2016 as a subunit of the umbrella boy band NCT. While based in Seoul, it has also gained a large following overseas, especially in the U.S.
