TXT Dominates Oricon Year-End Charts with Three Albums, Proving Japanese Market Influence

K-pop group TXT (Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Hueningkai) has once again demonstrated their strong influence in the Japanese market by charting three albums on the Oricon year-end rankings.

According to the Oricon 'Yearly Ranking 2025' released on December 17th (covering the period of December 23rd, 2024, to December 15th, 2025), TXT's fourth full-length album 'The Star Chapter: TOGETHER' and their third Japanese full-length album 'Starkissed', released this year, secured the 9th and 17th positions respectively on the 'Yearly Album Ranking'. Furthermore, their 7th mini-album 'The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY', released in November last year, ranked 64th, showcasing their consistent popularity.

Notably, 'The Star Chapter: TOGETHER' also achieved the 9th spot on the 'Yearly Combined Album Ranking' with an impressive 461,622 points, highlighting their global appeal.

TXT had already achieved significant milestones on the Oricon charts this year. 'Starkissed', released in October, topped both the 'Weekly Combined Album Ranking' and the 'Weekly Album Ranking' with the group's personal best scores. 'The Star Chapter: TOGETHER', released in July, also reached number one on both charts, indicating strong performance with every album release.

Their remarkable presence was also evident in Billboard Japan's 2025 year-end charts. Three of their albums, 'The Star Chapter: TOGETHER' (12th), 'Starkissed' (17th), and 'The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY' (58th), all ranked within the 'Top Album Sales' chart, confirming TXT's solid fan base.

Currently, TXT is in the midst of their fourth world tour, 'TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR 'ACT : TOMORROW'', including a five-dome tour in Japan. After successfully completing concerts in Saitama and Aichi, they are set to perform in Fukuoka, Tokyo, and Osaka, further building anticipation among local fans.

Moreover, they have left a strong impression on year-end music programs in Japan. Their powerful performances on Fuji TV's '2025 FNS Kayosai' and TBS's 'CDTV Live! Live! Christmas Special' recently reaffirmed their status as 'Year-End TXT'. They are also scheduled to perform at Japan's largest year-end festival, 'Countdown Japan 25/26', on December 30th.

Korean netizens reacted enthusiastically, commenting, 'TXT's class is undeniable overseas!', 'So proud they're also succeeding in their Japanese dome tour,' and 'They've completely captured the year-end stages!' showing their strong support for the group's achievements.
