TXT's Recent Achievements
Meanwhile, TXT attained new achievements in the past few months. The quintet made their debut in Japan in January with a studio album titled "Still Dreaming," featuring their original Japanese track "Force" that was used as the opening theme for the second season of the Japanese anime series "World Trigger."
"Still Dreaming" entered the Billboard 200, making TOMORROW X TOGETHER the second K-pop band to land a Japanese album on the American music chart, following their senior group BTS. The album debuted at No. 173 on the Billboard chart, which ranks the most famous albums in the United States across all languages and genres based on multi-metric consumption.
In addition, TXT's Japanese debut album ranked first on the weekly Oricon Albums Chart after selling 86,892 estimated sales in the first seven days. This is the third time that the boy group topped the Oricon weekly chart, after doing so with "The Dream Chapter: ETERNITY" and "minisode1: Blue Hour." Their first-week sales for their latest album are also their highest on Oricon so far.
