The mini-album was a commercial success peaking at number 2 on the Gaon Album Chart in its first week.

Background and release

In April 2016, FNC Entertainment launched the band's official comeback page along with the announcement of the fourth mini album Good Luck and the title track of the same name. [1]

Different teasers titled "Week Version" and "Weekend Version" for the music video were released from May 12 to May 14. On May 16, the music video for the title track "Good Luck" were released online through YouTube and Naver's V App. [2] [3]

The music video was shot in Tamuning, Guam, and features the members as lifeguards during the day and partying at night. A first version of the music video was released, but was then quickly taken down allegedly because of the presence of an unwanted Toyota brand endorsement and of the visibility of a small part of Jimin's bosom. It was then replaced by an edited version.

Member Jimin participated in writing the lyrics for "10 Seconds", "Crazy Boy", and "Still Falls the Rain". [4] The song "Still Falls the Rain" is a Korean version of the Japanese song originally included on AOA's fourth Japanese single "Give Me the Love", which was released in April 2016.

The physical release also comes in two versions: Week and Weekend. In July 2016, Good Luck was reported to sell more than 41,000 copies in South Korea, marking it as AOA's fastest-selling album so far.

On August 10, a special video featuring "Cherry Pop" was released to celebrate AOA's fourth anniversary.

Promotion

AOA held a live showcase on May 16, where they performed "Good Luck" and "10 Seconds", along with other previous title tracks. They concluded their promotional cycle for Good Luck with a final performance on SBS's Inkigayo on May 29, only two weeks after the release of the album. Fans speculated that this was due to the controversy surrounding Jimin and Seolhyun as well as their contentious win on Music Bank, [5] but FNC said they "had already started planning for a concert-type fan event around the time of AOA's comeback". [6]

Commercial performance

Good Luck entered and peaked at number 2 on the Gaon Album Chart on the chart issue dated May 15–21, 2016. [7] The mini-album placed at number 10 on the Gaon Album Chart for the month of May 2016 with 38,924 copies sold, [8] and at number 43 for the month of June 2016 with 2,224 copies sold, selling a total of 41,148 physical copies.
