Popular K-pop boy band TVXQ are at the top of Japan’s Oricon weekly chart with their new album “TREE,” according to SM Entertainment on Tuesday.

This marks the fourth time the band, comprised of U-Know and Max, has conquered the chart. The latest album went on sale March 5 and has sold 225,000 in Japan, the agency said.

“What’s more meaningful is that its three most recent albums put the band on the top of the chart,” Oricon said on its website. “TVXQ is the second foreign musician, after U.S. rocker Bon Jovi, to conquer the chart with three albums in a row.”
