Group BOYNEXTDOOR has proven its global popularity by topping two Oricon weekly charts in Japan with its first full-length album.
According to the latest charts released by Japan's Oricon on June 17, BOYNEXTDOOR's (Sungho, Riwoo, Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, Woonhak) first studio album, "HOME," took the No. 1 spot on the Weekly Combined Album Ranking (tracking period: June 8 – 14). The album also reached the top of the Weekly Album Ranking for the same period, securing a double crown.
The Weekly Combined Album Ranking is a chart that calculates rankings by aggregating physical album sales, digital downloads, and streaming figures.
Following their 2nd mini album "HOW?", 3rd mini album "19.99," and 4th mini album "No Genre," this marks the fourth time BOYNEXTDOOR has topped the Oricon Weekly Combined Album Ranking, demonstrating their sustained high popularity in Japan.
The group is also seeing success in Korea. "HOME" recorded 1,085,715 copies sold in its first week of release according to the Hanteo Chart, making them million-sellers for four consecutive albums starting from their 3rd mini album. Additionally, it topped the latest Hanteo Weekly Album Chart and maintained the top spot on the Apple Music "Top Albums" chart in Korea.
The title track, "VIRAL," is also showing a steady upward trend. After debuting at No. 68 on the Melon Daily Chart on the day of its release, it has climbed to No. 39 as of the latest chart and also entered the Melon Weekly Chart at No. 50. It reached No. 7 on Apple Music's "Top 100: South Korea" and also charted on Spotify Korea's "Weekly Top Songs."
"VIRAL" is receiving positive reviews from K-pop fans for its lyrical melody, emotional lyrics, and sophisticated performance. Members Jaehyun and Woonhak participated in the songwriting, infusing the track with BOYNEXTDOOR's unique musical color.
Meanwhile, BOYNEXTDOOR is scheduled to attend the 35th Seoul Music Awards, which will be held at Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, on June 20, and will continue their music broadcast activities.
