To achieve the Gold status in Japan, one would have to sell at least 100,000 copies of an album, while to get Platinum, at least 250,000 copies have to be sold. So, on October 9th, the Japanese record association revealed that TVXQ reached that status of Platinum by albums that were sold between January 1st to September 30th of this year.
What makes this so impressive is that the album ‘Tone’ had just been released on September 28th, which was just 2 days before the cut off date (September 30th), and was still able to sell more than 250,000 copies within 2 days, to achieve their status.
Along with their high status, they are also#3 on the Oricon weekly chart, showing that they are able to still maintain their high sales and proving their continued popularity.
TVXQ is currently in the midst of their ‘Asia Tour Fan Party‘, and plans to kick off a tour around Japan at the beginning of next year.
