TXT Tops Japan’s Oricon Chart Again

TXT has made a significant impact on the Japanese music market with their new album ‘The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY’. According to the latest chart released by Japan’s Oricon on November 5th, the album sold 112,713 copies on its first day, reaching No. 1 on the ‘Daily Album Ranking’. This continues their streak of 10 consecutive albums topping the charts, starting with ‘The Dream Chapter: ETERNITY’ released in May 2020 and continuing through ‘minisode 3: TOMORROW’ released in April this year.

Considering that the best-selling album in Japan last week sold approximately 130,000 copies, TXT’s latest release has garnered attention by approaching that figure in just one day. This has raised expectations for TXT to potentially break their own record for ‘Most Consecutive No. 1 Albums by a Foreign Artist’ on the Oricon weekly album chart.

The title track ‘Over The Moon’ ranked second on the ‘Daily Digital Single Ranking’, achieving the highest rank among K-pop artist songs that entered the charts that day. Additionally, the song reached No. 2 on Japan’s iTunes ‘Top Songs’ chart, and its music video ranked third on YouTube’s trending music list.

The songs included in the new album are also enjoying great popularity. ‘Heaven’, ‘Resist (Not Gonna Run Away)’, ‘Higher Than Heaven’, ‘Over The Moon’, and ‘Forty One Winks’ dominated the top five positions on the real-time chart of Japanese music service AWA at one point. Moreover, ‘Danger’ reached No. 10, with all tracks from the new album making it into the ‘Top 10’, proving the local buzz and anticipation surrounding TXT’s comeback. The album also secured No. 1 on both Japan’s Apple Music ‘Top Albums’ and iTunes ‘Top Albums’ charts.

Meanwhile, TXT will begin their music show promotions starting with KBS 2TV’s ‘Music Bank’ on the 8th. The ‘Our Sanctuary Version’ of the ‘Over The Moon’ music video is also set to be released, further heightening fans’ expectations.

Amidst TXT’s remarkable achievements, there is growing interest in how their activities will unfold and whether they will continue to set new records.
