TXT has once again achieved significant success in the Japanese music market. Their seventh mini-album ‘The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY’ topped the Oricon Daily Album Chart on its release day, proving their immense popularity.
According to the Oricon chart announced on November 4th, ‘The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY’ recorded approximately 112,713 sales on its first day of release. This marks the 10th consecutive album to reach the top of the daily album chart since their second mini-album ‘The Dream Chapter: ETERNITY’ in May 2020, showcasing TXT’s continued growth and rising popularity.
There is anticipation as to whether the success of this album will lead to a new record on the weekly album chart. Currently, TXT holds the record for the most consecutive No. 1 albums by an overseas artist on the Oricon Weekly Album Chart (10 albums), and fans are eagerly watching to see if this album will surpass that record.
The title track ‘Over The Moon’ is also gaining significant popularity. The song ranked 2nd on the Daily Digital Single Ranking, achieving the highest ranking among K-pop artists on the chart for that day. It not only reached 2nd place on Japan’s iTunes ‘Top Songs’ chart, but the music video also climbed to 3rd place on YouTube’s rapidly rising music charts.
Additionally, album tracks ‘Heaven,’ ‘Higher Than Heaven,’ ‘Resist,’ and ‘Forty One Winks’ have claimed the top 1-5 spots on the real-time chart of Japan’s music service AWA, confirming TXT’s widespread attention across Japan.
This album ‘The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY’ is the fourth installment following ‘The Dream Chapter,’ ‘The Chaos Chapter,’ and ‘The Name Chapter,’ expressing magical moments and a transformed world.
Meanwhile, starting with their third world tour at the KSPO Dome in Seoul last May, TXT has met fans in 28 performances across 17 cities worldwide, including the United States, Japan, Macau, Singapore, and Indonesia. Many fans are focusing on and eagerly anticipating their future activities.
