The album is listed by Gaon Album Chart as the sixth best-selling album of 2010 in South Korea, with 124,961 copies sold, and the repackaged version at number 17 with 63,118 copies.[1]
Reception and release[]
Within hours of the album's release, it topped various physical and digital sales charts in South Korea.[2] The songs on the album "were more carefully selected than ever", and the album itself is said to "[give] listeners a great chance to experience the diverse musical characters and more mature vocal skills of SHINee members".[3] On August 5, 2010, Lucifer totaled over 124,961[4] copies in album sales in South Korea. In the US, the single "Lucifer" charted on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart for 57 weeks.[5]
Shinee released a repackaged album of Lucifer called Hello on October 1, 2010. Their comeback on KBS Music Bank was on the same day.[6] The repackaged album Hello sold 63,118 copies in 2010 according to the Korean sales chart Gaon.
On November 26, 2010, the track "Obsession" was announced as the theme song for the film, The Warrior's Way.[7] SHINee's lead single "Lucifer" was also featured on the January 29, 2018 episode of FOX's popular TV series, Lucifer.[8]
Composition[]
Member Onew made his debut as a lyricist on track 9, "Your Name", while Jonghyun contributed lyrics for the second time (after writing lyrics for "Juliette"). Track 7 was co-written by all of the members.[3] "Love Still Goes On" is viewed as "kind of a sequel" to "Love Should Go On" from the group's debut mini-album "Replay". Minho wrote the raps to "Up & Down", "Obsession", "Your Name", and co-wrote the songs "Wowowow" with JQ and "Shout Out" with the fellow members and Misfit. In the repackaged album Hello, he wrote the rap for the title track "Hello", and co-wrote the raps for "One" and "Get It".[3]
"Ready or Not" was written and composed by Will Simms, a French music producer who made his debut in SM Entertainment with this song.[9] Risto Asikainen and Setä Tamu also contributed to the song and Misfit penned the lyrics.
Singles[]
"Lucifer" was written by Bebe Rexha and Yoo Young-jin, who also penned the lyrics of many other songs performed by Shinee.[10] The song's music video was released on July 19, 2010 via the official YouTube channel of SM Entertainment.[11] The group made their comeback on July 23, 2010 on Music Bank.[12] They performed the song live during the following days on KBS and other broadcasting channels. Minho did not participate in the dances, however, sitting on a chair due to a leg injury[13] which had already delayed the album's release and promotion.[14] A choreography version of the music video was released on YouTube on August 3.[15] The dance was choreographed by Shim Jae-Won (who was previously a member of Black Beat) and Rino Nakasone-Razalan. By the end of 2010, "Lucifer" had been downloaded 1,431,431 times.[16] In 2011, it was downloaded other 779,474 times and 181,436 times in the first half of 2012.[citation needed]
The Korean lyrics of "Hello" were written by Kim Eana.[17] The song's music video was released on October 4, 2010 via the official YouTube channel of SM Entertainment.[18] The group gave their first live performance of the song on October 1, 2010 on Music Bank.[19] The featured dance was choreographed by Rino Nakasone-Razalan.[citation needed] By the end of 2010, "Hello" had been downloaded 1,005,756 times.[20]
