K-pop group Twice has led Japan's main music chart for the fifth day, with combined sales of its latest single album in the country poised to soon break the 200,000 mark, its agency said Monday.

"One More Time," released in Japan last Wednesday, held on to the pole position on Oricon's Daily Single Chart as of Monday morning, according to JYP Entertainment. Combined sales stand at 191,157 copies to date.

Twice has become the fastest-selling K-pop girl group album in Japan based on first week figures. The previous record holder was Kara, who sold 122,820 copies of "Jet Coaster Love" during its first week in 2011.

The nine-member act, which includes Japanese and Taiwanese members, made its Japanese debut in June by releasing "#TWICE," which contains past hits in both Japanese and Korean.

Twice will release its first full-length album "Twicetagram," including lead song "Likey," next Monday in South Korea. (Yonhap)
