Also on the 4/5 week raking at Oricon, their new album "TVXQ NONSTOP - MIX VOL.2" entered the third place of the album ranking with 38,000 sales. Both with their single and album sale, TVXQ recorded TOP 3 at the same timeline.

For both single and album sales to be the top 3 in the ranking in Japan by the overseas artist was achieved 15 years 3 months ago by Mariah Carey's "Lover's Christmas" (single ranking/third place) & "Merry Christmas" (Album ranking/first place) in 1995.

For the male foreign artist, it is the first time after 31 years 8 months which was achieved by Billy Joel on 07/31/1978, with his single and album, "Stranger" (single ranking/ third place) & "Stranger" (LP/third place).
