Red Velvet released a 16-track album titled "The ReVe Festival: Finale" on Monday. According to SM, it immediately topped the iTunes album charts in 42 countries.
Red Velvet had been scheduled to perform the lead single from the new album, "Psycho," during Wednesday's show and will not now participate in it.
