TVXQ DBSK Tohoshinki Oricon Stand By You

Oricon recently released their mid year album sales ranking for 2009 and TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki did better than most expected. “The Secret Code” came in at number 10 with a sales figure of 248,000 for the first half of 2009. This placed them above popular artists such as KAT-TUN who had 237,000 sales for "Break the Records -by you & for you-" and Utada who had 228,000 sales for "This is The One." BoA who released a combo "Best Album and American Debut album" was ranked 25th with a sales figure of 131,000.

Here are the Top 10 sales figures:
1. Mr Children - "Supermarket Fantasy" (1.2 million)
2. Exile - "Exile Ballad Best" (807k)
3. Dreams Come True - "Do Your Dreams come true?" (632k)
4. Remioromen - "Remio Best" (471k)
5. Ikimono-Gakari - "My Song Your Song" (404k)
6. Koda Kumi - "Trick" (385k)
7. Ayumi - "Next Level" (363k)
8. RADWIMPS - "Arutokorni no Teiri" (314k)
9. Unicorn - "Shamble" (250k)
10. TVXQ / Tohoshinki - "The Secret Code" (248k)


Some of you enjoyed TVXQ's Stand By You scans a few days ago and now you can enjoy the video for the off-shoot:

This is good news for TVXQ and they should be even more excited with their Tokyo Dome concert just a few days away.

Japan’s population is several times larger than Korea’s. Also DBSK did around 250k sales for Mirotic in Korea. The Secret Code is gonna do around 300k in Japan.

@59 ..... aha, keep waiting.
I think the rank changed since greeeen is now in top 10 and dbsk already sold more than 250,000 copies :D but at the end I think they’re still in number 10

 
wallflower's avatar

I wasn’t gonna watch the whole thing but once I started I ended up finishing it after all, lol.
And I was gonna be “=O they’re not 1st place?/sarcasm” but then I remembered that compared to their other hits this one was good enough to be on the charts..

 
sho0rty's avatar

Congrats to TVXQ! Their hardwork is certainly paying off. They even beat the idol groups in Japan. I was able to watch their Bangkok concert and they are definitely in their element there. When did they ever fail us fans?

TVXQ FTW!!!

@7 yes you’re right GReeeeN sold more than 600K now . not sure if DBSK still in top 10 or they slipped one place to 11. anyway congratulations. they surpassed KAT-TUN and Kanjani 8 at least XD
@77 arashi did not release any album yet but they’re releasing their best of sometime later this year so i predict they will be somewhere in the top 10 too so yeah.

just ignore @59 .She is the one who always wrote BB>>> thsk @BB’s articles for the couple few days. Retarded i guest. I don’t care what rank there are i am happy that their album sold more than 250k . Consider there are foreigner @ that chart. Cant wait for a fancam @tokyo dome. it would be awesome ..i love watched kattun’s tokyo dome concert..i really hope they do well at that concert..looking forward for their fanaccount .I am so jealous for Bigeast .They can see DBSK all the time.

I wonder how many percent that they actually get from album plus Secret Code ‘s concert that they did this year and upcoming A-nation tour^^ .their 3rd Asia Mirotic Tour—- no wonder, JJ&Chun; bought a new car ,open up gelato n cosmetic store, JUNSU bought penthouse/townhouse for his family. I am still waiting for Yunho & Changmin.. I bet Yunho saving.

mirotic album sold for more than 500K in korea. Not 250K. I bet it can go to 300 or more for japanese album to be sold in the end of year.
