TVXQ broke Elton John’s record by becoming the first “Foreign Artist In 12 Years To Sell Over 200K In Singles For Initial Sales.” This single being the 29th of theirs, is 7th of their singles that has made an outstanding no.1 rank making this a sale a double award. To make NO.1 Oricon was big enough, but this record is a behemoth.

The previous best record was held on September 1997, which was Elton John’s “Memorial Song for the former British Princess Diana”, Candle In The Wind〜Tribute To Princess Diana, Britain’s Princess which sold 184,000 copies. So 254K vs 184K is a huge difference, one record that TVXQ can carry for quite a while.

Asian music has been a forefront empire in the world, simply unrecognized in the land of the USA.
So, I think its time to head to the Ellen Degeneres show and brag about this, what do you think?
