K-pop sensation TWS has just etched their name into history, claiming the coveted No. 1 spot on Billboard Japan’s Hot 100 with their vibrant track, “Soda Soda.” This groundbreaking achievement, announced with the latest chart published Wednesday, marks a monumental moment for both the group and the broader K-pop industry.
Making History on Billboard Japan
The significance of this feat cannot be overstated. Pledis Entertainment, TWS’s agency, proudly confirmed on Thursday that “Soda Soda” is the *very first* K-pop song ever to top Billboard Japan’s main songs chart. This incredible milestone underscores TWS’s rapidly growing influence and the universal appeal of their music, resonating deeply with Japanese audiences and setting a new benchmark for K-pop artists aiming for mainstream success in Japan.
Record-Breaking Sales and Chart Performance
Beyond its historic No. 1 on the Hot 100, “Soda Soda” has proven its undeniable popularity through astounding sales figures. The physical single, also titled “Soda Soda,” shattered previous records for the six-member boy group, selling an impressive over 225,000 copies in its debut week. This phenomenal first-week performance not only highlighted immense fan dedication but also secured the single the No. 2 position on both Oricon’s Weekly Single Ranking and Billboard Japan’s Top Singles Sales Chart. Such strong showings across multiple prestigious charts solidify TWS’s status as a major force in the Japanese music market.
Bringing “Soda Soda” Live to Japan
Fans in Japan will soon have the exciting opportunity to experience the infectious energy of “Soda Soda” live. The team of six is set to perform their popular city pop tune throughout the Japan leg of their highly anticipated “24/7: For: You” tour. This three-city tour will see TWS bringing their dynamic performances to Fukuoka, Kobe, and Yokohama, with dates planned from late August. These upcoming concerts promise to be unforgettable events, allowing fans to celebrate this historic chart-topping success directly with TWS and witness their captivating stage presence firsthand.
