TOMORROW X TOGETHER surpasses previous weekly sales in two days!

K-pop group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai) is on the brink of setting new records in the Japanese music market. 

According to BigHit Music on the 7th, their 7th mini-album, The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY, claimed the top spot on Japan’s Oricon "Daily Album Ranking" for November 4 and 5. The album sold a total of 277,587 copies in Japan within two days, surpassing the first-week sales of their previous mini-album, minisode 3: TOMORROW, which sold about 174,000 copies (based on Oricon). In terms of two-day sales, this marks a growth of roughly 60% over the previous release.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER holds the Oricon record for the "most consecutive No. 1 albums by an international artist." They previously topped the chart with ten consecutive albums, and given the rapid sales growth of their latest release, expectations for a new record are high.

Their title track Over The Moon is also climbing the Japanese charts, entering Line Music’s real-time song chart at No. 78 within an hour of its release on November 4. By November 6, it reached No. 1 at 8 PM. On Spotify Japan’s "Daily Top Songs" chart (November 5), the song surged up 79 ranks to No. 74. Additionally, The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY took the top position on both Apple Music Japan’s "Top Albums" and iTunes’ "Top Albums" charts.

In South Korea, TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s album ranked No. 1 on Hanteo’s daily album chart on its release day, becoming their fifth consecutive album to achieve "first-week million-seller" status. After a brief pause, the album reclaimed the No. 1 spot on Hanteo’s latest daily chart (as of November 6). The title track Over The Moon also entered Bugs’ real-time chart Top 3.

Meanwhile, TOMORROW X TOGETHER is currently running a pop-up store, TOMORROW X TOGETHER 'The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY' POP-UP STORE, at the Iconic Square in The Hyundai Seoul’s basement level 2. Open until the 13th, the pop-up is based on the "ANGEL" concept of a cozy home date, one of the four visuals in the new album. It offers a photo zone, photo booth, message zone, and official merchandise related to the album.
