TVXQ sets a new record in Japan with ‘TIME’

The duo of TVXQ has set another record in Japan!

TVXQ has managed to top Japan’s Oricon Weekly Album Chart with their latest album ‘ TIME’. The album managed to sell over 244,000 copies in its first week, setting a new record for the boys.

This marks the third time that TVXQ has managed to top the weekly album chart, following its compilation album ‘ Best Selection 2010’ released in February 2010, and its studio album ‘ TONE’ in September 2011. It also smashed TVXQ’s personal record for the biggest first week sales.

According to Oricon News, it’s the first time a foreign artist sold over 200,000 copies for 2 consecutive albums since Avril Lavigne achieved the feat five years and 11 months ago with ‘Every Damn Thing’. For a foreign group, the only other time this occurred was 12 years and 10 months ago when Bon Jovi achieved it with ‘Crush’.
