On June 14, 2013, over a year after their official debut, the band received their first win on the South Korean music program Music Bank with their single “Wolf." Since then, Exo has gone on to win over 100 music program awards, only the second artist to do so, after Girls' Generation (also from the same company). they have also won not one, not two but five daesangs (huge award). "The War", their newest album, has managed to hit No.1 on the iTunes Albums Chart in 41 countries, which is the highest number ever for a K-pop artist. Not only is this an impressive feat, EXO also ranked at No.1 on the iTunes Worldwide Chart, as well as ranking highly in countries such as the US (No.2), UK (No.2), and Australia (No.3), giving the boys their best performance on the charts yet.
