Oricon stated on the 11th, "TVXQ ranked #1 on the weekly chart, making it the fourth consecutive time that their full-length album achieved such a feat... Their record of their full-length albums consecutively ranking #1 ties with that of American rock band�Bon Jovi... Full-length albums consecutively surpassing 200,000 copies sold in its first week is the first time in thirteen years and ten months since Bon Jovi's two albums 'These Days' and 'Crush' previously set the record."

Congrats, TVXQ!
