According to the 2024 year-end charts released by Billboard Japan, their Japanese single ‘CHIKAI’ secured the 13th position in the ‘Top Single Sales’, achieving the highest rank among K-pop groups as well as international artists.
Their success continued on the album charts.

Their mini 6th album ‘minisode 3: TOMORROW’ and 7th album ‘The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY’ secured 29th and 14th places respectively on the ‘Hot Albums’ chart, proving their continued popularity.
Notably, this year TXT became the only overseas artist in Japan to receive a ‘Triple Platinum’ certification.

In addition to these musical achievements, TXT successfully completed a tour of Japan’s four major domes. They hosted the ‘TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR IN JAPAN’ with stops at Tokyo Dome, Kyocera Dome Osaka, Vantelin Dome Nagoya, and Fukuoka PayPay Dome. Based on these accomplishments, they are invited to perform at the ‘Kouhaku Uta Gassen’, a year-end music festival broadcasted by Japan’s public broadcaster NHK on the 31st. TXT is the only K-pop boy group invited to this year’s ‘Kouhaku Uta Gassen’, and their endless challenges and growth seem set to continue.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the dazzling journey ahead for TXT, wondering what new records they will set on the global stage beyond K-pop.
