TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki has achieved another first as their popularity grows in Japan. They've achieved their first ever #1 ranking on the Oricon Monthly chart with Break Out! Despite being released late in January (January 27th), the boys took the Oricon Monthly Sales chart for January by selling 255,917 units. Second place was You were... / BALLAD by popular J-pop artist Ayumi Hamasaki, which was released on December 29th and sold less than half of Break Out! with a sales tally of 113,546. Congratulations to TVXQ, hopefully they can continue this momentum with the release of their Best Selection 2010 album on February 17th.
