According to the official iTunes website, Taeyang's international release, which simultaneously went on sale locally and internationally yesterday, has placed at No. 2 in Japan, No. 3 in Australia, No. 5 in Canada and No. 6 in the United States.
Taeyang had entered the iTunes chart for the first time in July with his first full-length album "Solar," placing atop Canada's chart and third on the U.S. chart, making him the Asian artist to reach the highest ranks on the charts.
