The fandom indeed listened from different parts of the world, and the album ended the first tracking week on Spotify with over 80 million streams.

The album alone gathered over 40,000 streams on the first day of its release in Nigeria alone, making it the highest first-day debut for an Asian or Korean act on the chart in Nigeria. RM beat the record previously held by his group as well as other members J Hope and Jin.
The title song Wild Flower gathered a total of 32,028 streams in its first week on the Spotify Top Songs Nigeria (Weekly) chart.
