TWICE's Korean album "MORE & MORE" ranks first on the Oricon weekly album chart! The 6th Japanese single is scheduled to be released in July.
★Although "MORE & MORE" is a Korean album, it has recorded outstanding sales in Japan.According to Oricon's announcement on the 16th, the album sold 36,000 copies and was ranked as the album of the week on the 22nd. Reached number 1 on the charts. It rose one rank from the previous week (dated on the 15th) and took first place in its second week of release.
In addition, it was revealed that this is TWICE's sixth album to reach number one, making it the second-highest single in Oricon records for the number of albums by foreign female artists that have reached number one. *1st place goes to Korean solo singer BoA (7 works)
It seems that the sales competition for K-Pop girls in Japan has become a match race between TWICE and IZ*ONE. Not only in Japan but also in Korea, it seems that other girls are competing for records while keeping other girls at bay.
★TWICE announced her 9th mini-album "MORE & MORE" on June 1st. 274,472 copies were sold on the first day alone, breaking the all-time first day sales record set by IZ*ONE with their 1st full album "BLOOM*IZ" (released on February 17, 2020).
Although the timing of comebacks is often delayed, there are cases where the ones who make a comeback later break records.
This February, IZ*ONE's 1st full album "BLOOM*IZ" broke the record, but with this comeback, TWICE has broken IZ*ONE's record again. With the added bonus of being the fastest MV in the group's history to surpass 100 million views...
"MORE & MORE" also entered the rankings of the main American chart "Billboard 200". The number of views of the official MV is also far exceeding the pace of the previous song "Feel Special". The fact that they signed a contract with a major American label and clearly announced their world-orientation probably worked in their favor.
If they have broadened their work horizons this much, I hope they will be able to grasp the daily rhythm and their own daily routines, and enjoy their daily lives as they go about their work and activities.
I didn't really feel that way about TWICE until now, but it's about time for them to start to feel as big as Girls' Generation. Something like that has been rare up until now. This is probably because I have developed an image of working in a chaotic manner. I would like offices to cut out small tasks as much as possible and avoid picking them up.
