TXT reclaims Oricon #1 while sweeping domestic charts and variety shows

TXT has successfully reclaimed the top spot on the Japanese Oricon charts, demonstrating their massive influence both domestically and abroad. According to the latest Oricon Daily Album Ranking released on April 17, 2026, the group's 8th mini album, '7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns', rose back to #1. After initially debuting at the top on its release day, this return to the summit proves the group's steady and sustained popularity in the local market. The title track, 'Stick With You', is also enjoying a successful long-term run, holding the #1 position on the Line Music Daily Song Chart for 4 consecutive days and remaining a fixture in the upper tier of the rankings.

The momentum is equally strong on domestic music charts. The title track has maintained its #1 position on the Bugs daily chart for 5 consecutive days and has firmly settled into the Melon Top 100, solidifying the group's broad public appeal. Critics note that their high-quality performances on music shows have been a key driver of this success, with the members' stunning visuals and flawless live vocals becoming a major hot topic across online communities. Their global impact is further highlighted by their YouTube performance; the music video for the title track reached 10 million views in just 2 days and surpassed 20 million views by April 17, only 4 days after its release.

In addition to their musical achievements, TXT is dominating the variety show scene. Soobin and Yeonjun appeared on the popular web variety show 'Salon Drip', while the full group visited 'Zip Daesung', with both episodes quickly surpassing 1 million views. The members are further expanding their connection with the public through various platforms such as 'PIXID', 'UV Studio', and 'Idol Human Theater'. The group is set to perform on SBS 'Inkigayo' today, April 19, and will also greet viewers through the KBS 2TV program 'Boss in the Mirror'.
