RIIZE's EP 'II' Tops Oricon Weekly Album Ranking
the group’s second EP ‘II’ hit the top of Oricon’s Weekly Album Ranking. rookies no more — these boys are charting like veterans.
RIIZE named the EP 'II' and then rose to no. 1, and we refuse to be mature about it. the second EP took the top of oricon's weekly album ranking, which is not a small room to be the loudest voice in.
the good part is HOW. 'II' entered that chart at no. 31 after its june release and then climbed for four straight weeks until it hit the top. that's not a launch-week spike, that's japan falling in love slowly and in public.
the rest of the receipts: over a million copies moved in four days, making it their fourth million-seller, no. 1 on itunes' top albums chart in six regions, and a platinum certification from QQ Music in china. six members, zero filler.
they'd already pulled an oricon no. 1 with 'RIIZING' back in 2024, so at this point it's a pattern and not a fluke. and they did this one while running the 'RIIZE Playing Game' fan meetups through fukuoka, tokyo and kobe, because rest was never on the itinerary.
BRIIZE, go scream. responsibly, but loudly.

ENHYPEN Earn First No. 1 on Billboard 200 With 'THE SIN : BLISS'
'THE SIN : BLISS' debuted at the very top of america's biggest albums chart on august 30 — the boys are the headline now, not the rookies.
no bc the way ENHYPEN just strolled into the billboard 200 and took the No. 1 spot like it had their name on it the whole time.
on august 30 local time, billboard confirmed that ENHYPEN's new mini album "THE SIN : BLISS" debuted at No. 1 on the top 200 albums chart — the biggest albums ranking in the US. it is their FIRST time at the summit and the group chat has not recovered.
we already knew the sales were doing NUMBERS, but a No. 1 debut in america hits different. this is officially the "we are not a rookie group, we are a fixture" era and i think about it constantly.
seven boys, one demonic little concept, one very real No. 1. mother is mothering. 🖤
