On November 7, Big Hit Music shared that TXT (members Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai) took the No. 1 spot on Japan’s Oricon "Daily Album Ranking" for two straight days (November 4-5) with their latest mini-album, The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY. In just two days, the album sold an impressive 277,587 copies in Japan, already surpassing the first-week sales of their last mini-album, minisode 3: TOMORROW, which sold around 174,000 copies.

TXT now holds the record for the most consecutive No. 1 albums on Oricon’s Weekly Album Chart by a foreign artist, with 10 albums in a row reaching the top. With the strong sales of this new release, many expect TXT to set even more records soon.

The album’s title track, “Over The Moon,” is also climbing Japan’s music charts. Within an hour of its release on November 4, the song entered Line Music’s real-time chart at No. 78, and by November 6, it shot up to No. 1. It also climbed to No. 74 on Spotify Japan’s "Daily Top Songs" on November 5, and topped both Apple Music and iTunes "Top Albums" charts in Japan.

TXT’s success is just as strong in Korea, where the new album debuted at No. 1 on Hanteo’s daily album chart and became their fifth straight million-seller album in its first week. The title track "Over The Moon" has also entered the "Top 3" on Bugs' real-time chart.

Fans in Korea can also experience TXT’s latest album through a special The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY pop-up store at The Hyundai Seoul until November 13. The store is designed around the "ANGEL" concept from their album and offers photo zones, a photo booth, a message wall, and exclusive merchandise.
