Boy group TWS (Tuus) ranked at the top of Japan's Oricon annual "New Rankings."
According to Pledis Entertainment on the 16th, TWS (Shin Yu, Do Hoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Ji Hoon, and Kyung Min) ranked second in the recently announced "Rookie Ranking" by artist in the "Oricon Annual Ranking 2025." This is the highest ranking among foreign artists.
The "Rookie Ranking" is ranked by summing the sales of singles, albums, streaming, and music DVDs. Oricon explained that TWS made about 1.07 billion yen (about 10 billion won) in sales during the aggregation period (December 9, 2024 to December 7, 2025).
TWS successfully settled in the local market after releasing its Japanese debut single "Nice to see you again" in July last year. The debut single topped the charts for several weeks on Oricon and Billboard Japan in the first week of its release. In addition, the single exceeded 250,000 cumulative album shipments and was certified as "Platinum" for the gold disc by the Japan Records Association.
The first tour "2025 TWS TOUR '24/7:WH:US' IN JAPAN', which took place shortly after its Japanese debut, attracted about 50,000 audiences 13 times in six cities. Tickets were sold out in most cities, and additional seats were opened to show off the enthusiasm for reservations.
TWS also toured local representative festivals and wowed the audience. He performed intense performances by appearing in a series of major music festivals, "Rock in Japan Festival 2025," "COUNTDOWN JAPAN 25/26," and Fuji TV's year-end special program "2025 FNS Song Festival."
The momentum of TWS, which played an active role in Japan, is also spreading globally. According to YouTube Music on the 15th, TWS exceeded 100 million monthly viewers. The figure is the highest in the K-pop boy group. YouTube Music Monthly Viewers refers to the number of users worldwide who have watched or listened to TWS' content in the past 28 days.
