Ten-year K-pop idol veterans TVXQ have landed the No. 2 spot on the U.S. Billboard’s World Albums chart this week with the duo’s seventh Korean studio album “Tense.”
“Tense” was dropped on Jan. 6, more than a year after the duo’s chart topping “Catch Me” album.
The album was released in commemoration of TVXQ’s 10th Anniversary, which fell on Dec. 26 and was ranked on the iTunes Top 10 Charts in nine countries including Indonesia, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Hong Kong and reached the top of the charts in Vietnam and Japan.
The album’s lead single “Something” steps away from the heavily infused electronica beats of the group’s previous albums and infuses the musical elements of swingtime jazz. The single topped many of the local online music charts upon its release and in less than three weeks the music video has amassed more than 4 million views on YouTube.
