TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) has once again made waves on the U.S. Billboard charts.

According to an article published on November 17 by Billboard, TXT’s 7th mini album, The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 for the chart dated November 23.

The album recorded an impressive 95,500 album sales and 2,500 SEA units (streaming equivalent albums).

This marks TXT’s 11th album to enter the Billboard 200, a record surpassed only by BTS among K-pop groups. TXT has charted eight Korean and three Japanese albums on the prestigious list, further solidifying their global reach.

Since their debut in March 2019, TXT has shown remarkable consistency. Their first mini album, The Dream Chapter: STAR, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 140, less than two weeks after their debut. Every year since, they’ve landed albums on the chart, demonstrating their steady rise.

Notably, six of TXT’s Korean albums, including Chaos Chapter: FREEZE (No. 5, 2021), minisode 2: Thursday’s Child (No. 4, 2022), The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION (No. 1, 2023), The Name Chapter: FREEFALL (No. 3, 2023), minisode 3: TOMORROW (No. 3, 2024), and now The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY (No. 2, 2024), have consecutively landed in the Billboard 200 Top 5.

TXT’s incredible success highlights their growing influence in the North American music market, proving they are a force to be reckoned with.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
