The South Korean group Tomorrow X Together (TXT), consisting of members Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai, has once again made history on the Japanese Oricon chart.
According to the latest chart released by Oricon on October 17 (for the period of October 9 to 15), TXT's 3rd full-length album 'The Chaos Chapter: FREEFALL' sold approximately 225,000 copies, securing the top spot on the 'Weekly Album Ranking.' Considering that this sales figure was achieved in just three days since the daily chart was initiated on October 13, this accomplishment demonstrates TXT's influence in Japan.
With this achievement, TXT has now placed a total of three albums at the top of the 'Weekly Album Ranking' this year, including the mini 5th album 'The Chaos Chapter: TEMPTATION' and the Japanese 2nd full-length album 'SWEET,' in addition to 'The Chaos Chapter: FREEFALL.' Oricon conveyed in an article on their official website that TXT is the only artist to have achieved this feat on this year's chart, placing three albums in the number one position.
Notably, 'The Chaos Chapter: FREEFALL' securing the top position has enabled TXT to continue their record-breaking journey, becoming the number one overseas artist for "the most consecutive albums ranked at number one" with a total of 9 albums. Last year, they set a record as the first overseas artist to achieve the top spot on the weekly album ranking for six consecutive albums with their mini 4th album 'minisode 2: Thursday's Child.' They have continued to break their own Oricon records by topping the chart with three consecutive albums this year.
Furthermore, 'The Chaos Chapter: FREEFALL' achieved 'Double Million Seller' status by selling approximately 1.92 million copies on its release day (October 13), with expectations of reaching the milestone of two million copies in the first week of sales. TXT's global popularity was further demonstrated by their comeback showcase held on October 14, which was watched by fans from 177 countries/regions via the global fan platform Weverse Live, generating enthusiastic responses both domestically and internationally.
