TXT has made history with their 7th mini album ‘The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY’. This album sold 1,579,339 copies in its first week, surpassing the first-week sales record of their previous album ‘minisode 3: TOMORROW’. This figure demonstrates TXT’s enduring popularity.
The album sold 1.21 million copies on its first day alone, earning the title of ‘first-week million seller’. Previously, they achieved five consecutive first-week million sellers with albums like ‘minisode 2: Thursday’s Child’ in 2022, and ‘The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION’ and ‘The Name Chapter: FREEFALL’ in 2023.
Their popularity is also strong domestically. The title track ‘Over The Moon’ entered the Genie real-time chart at 82 and rose to 3rd place, also reaching 3rd on the Bugs chart, and maintaining a high position on Melon’s ‘Top 100’ chart.
TXT’s popularity continues in the Japanese market as well. The album sold 277,000 copies in just two days after its release in Japan, surpassing the record of their previous work. ‘The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY’ topped both Apple Music and iTunes ‘Top Album’ charts in Japan, and ‘Over The Moon’ maintained the number one spot on the Line Music daily song chart for three consecutive days. The music video is also consistently ranking first on YouTube Japan’s ‘Trending Music’.
Meanwhile, TXT is continuing to engage with fans by operating a pop-up store ‘The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY’ at the Iconic Square on the second basement level of The Hyundai Seoul until the 13th. More exciting activities from them are anticipated in the future.
