The group TWS is showing a strong upward trend by entering the top ranks on domestic and international charts. According to Japan's Oricon on the 5th, TWS's 4th mini album 'play hard' sold 139,025 copies, ranking 3rd on the latest 'Weekly Album Ranking.' This figure significantly exceeds the approximately 87,000 copies sold in the first week in Japan of their previous mini album, 'TRY WITH US.'
'play hard' ranked 1st on the 'Daily Album Ranking' on its release day in Japan, October 30th, and regained the top spot on the chart dated the 3rd, maintaining its momentum. The album also proved its popularity locally by ranking 3rd on Billboard Japan's 'Top Album Sales' chart.
TWS's rising trend is also evident on music charts. The title track 'OVERDRIVE' entered the Melon daily chart on the 27th of last month and gradually climbed the ranks, debuting at 92nd on the latest weekly chart. Despite concluding their official activities with SBS's 'Inkigayo' on the 2nd, TWS continues to break their highest rankings daily, sustaining a reverse-run popularity.
At the center of this success is the 'Angtal Challenge.' The 'Angtal Challenge' attracts wide participation from not only singers but also actors, athletes, and the public due to its easy and simple choreography that showcases cuteness. Fueled by the challenge's popularity, 'OVERDRIVE' ranked 1st on Instagram's 'Reels Rising Audio' chart and maintains a high position on TikTok Music's 'Top 50' chart.
TWS's next destination is the global stage. They are scheduled to appear at the '2025 MAMA AWARDS' held in Hong Kong on the 28th and 29th. Additionally, on December 27th, they will perform at Japan's representative year-end festival, 'Countdown Japan 25/26,' meeting local fans.
These achievements further enhance the group's growth potential and gather fans' expectations. As the group's activities continue, attention is focused on their future steps.
