Antares (Kris Wu album)

Antares (Chinese: 安塔爾) is the only studio album by Canadian rapper Kris Wu, released on November 2, 2018, through Ace Unit Culture Media.

[3] Along with the announcement of the album on the Complex radio show Open Late hosted by Peter Rosenberg, Wu stated on the show that he named the album for the star Antares, which means "heart of the scorpion", and in Chinese translates to "heart of the dragon".

[6] Wu was accused by Grande's manager Scooter Braun of using bots to boost his sales numbers.

Braun later apologized via an Instagram post, stating after a conversation with Wu, that the irregulation in sales were most likely done through impatient Chinese fans using VPNs to access the album earlier.

[7] Antares ultimately debuted at number 100 on the Billboard 200, earning 8,000 album-equivalent units, 5,000 of which were pure sales.
