Fantagio, ASTRO Tops Japanese Charts... "Focusing on Core Business of Comprehensive Entertainment"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Fantagio's global group ‘ASTRO’ has topped the charts in Japan.

Fantagio announced on the 21st that the title track ‘ONE’ from ASTRO's second full-length album ‘All Yours,’ released last April, achieved first place on the Japan weekly Usen HIT K-POP ranking for the first week of June (June 4-10).

The Usen chart compiles and publishes rankings of hit songs trending on streets nationwide in Japan, listener broadcast requests, and the number of broadcasts. It is regarded as one of the most credible music charts in Japan.

The weekly Usen HIT K-POP ranking, where ASTRO took first place, is a chart based on the broadcast performance on Usen music programs and listener request data for K-POP songs released in Korea and Japan. This achievement, combining broadcast performance and listener requests, proves ASTRO's strong popularity in the Japanese market.

With ‘All Yours,’ ASTRO not only topped the Usen HIT K-POP ranking but also secured first place for two consecutive weeks on the Tower Records comprehensive album chart nationwide and first place on the Oricon weekly album chart. Additionally, their first full album ‘All Light’ and sixth mini-album ‘BLUE FLAME’ ranked 7th and 8th respectively on the Oricon weekly album chart, placing three albums in the TOP 10.

A Fantagio representative said, “This All Yours album embodies our ambition to ‘show everything about ASTRO,’ and includes members' self-composed songs, enhancing the album's completeness,” adding, “Based on ASTRO's achievements, Fantagio will focus more on its core entertainment business.”
