K-pop boy group TXT, short for Tomorrow by Together, has been dominating Japan's Oricon Daily Album Chart for six consecutive days with its album "STILL DREAMING."

According to the chart, the group's first Japanese studio album has achieved over 3,000 sales Monday, defending the first spot it nabbed since its release Jan. 20. The album has sold 87,000 copies.

This is the longest time the group has topped the Oricon chart, Japan's mainstream music ranking platform.

The album consists of 10 tracks including the Japanese version of "Blue Hour" ― the lead single from the group's Korean-language mini-album "minisode1: Blue Hour." It also includes the Japanese debut song "CROWN," and the new track "Force," which was selected as the theme song for the second season of the TV animation series "World Trigger."

"'STILL DREAMING' intends to deliver the message that 'we are always dreaming,'" the group's agency Big Hit Entertainment said.

TXT debuted in 2019 with the mini-album "The Dream Chapter: Star." The group garnered popularity as the "brother group" of K-pop juggernaut BTS, winning the rookie artist award at last year's Golden Disk Awards.

The group is gearing up to hold a concert "2021 TXT FANLIVE SHINE X TOGETHER," which will be held March 6 at Blue Square in Yongsan, central Seoul. It will also be streamed online.
