BOYNEXTDOOR has achieved significant success not only in Korea but also in Japan with their latest release.


According to Japan's Oricon on the 19th, BOYNEXTDOOR's (Sung Ho, Liu, Myung Jae-hyun, Tae San, Lee Han, Woon Hak) third mini-album 19.99 topped the latest "Weekly Combined Album Ranking" (for the chart dated September 23, covering the period from September 9 to 15). The group also secured the No. 1 spot on the "Weekly Album Ranking" during the same period, earning them the title of double crown winners. 


This marks the second time the group has achieved this feat on the Oricon Weekly Chart, following their second mini-album HOW?. The "Combined Album Ranking" calculates rankings based on CD sales, digital downloads, and streaming points. 19.99 earned 137,052 points for the week, surpassing the 78,948 points accumulated by HOW? in its first week and setting a new record for the group, even exceeding HOW?'s total accumulated points of 106,995.


In addition, BOYNEXTDOOR's new release claimed the No. 1 spot in two categories on Billboard Japan's comprehensive album chart: "Hot Albums" (for the chart dated September 18, covering the period from September 9 to 15) and "Top Album Sales." This is the second time the group has topped the "Hot Albums" chart, following their success with HOW?. With each album release, BOYNEXTDOOR continues to dominate major Japanese charts, solidifying their reputation locally as "The Trustworthy BOYNEXTDOOR".
