The group TREASURE swept the top spots on Japan's major album charts, marking a promising start to a successful 2026 activity.
According to YG Entertainment on Jan. 16, TREASURE's mini 3rd album [LOVE PULSE] ranked No. 1 on both the Oricon weekly album chart and the Billboard Japan top sales chart for the second week of January (Jan. 5–11, based on counts).
The mini 3rd album 'LOVE PULSE,' released in September last year, became a million seller by selling 1,131,346 copies in its first week alone, receiving intense love from global fans. It also proved solid popularity in Japan by earning the Japan Record Association's Gold Disc "Gold (100,000 copies)" certification.
Local media focused on these achievements and highlighted TREASURE's third Japan tour and their year-end music awards show and broadcast stage activities. TREASURE appeared on major year-end Japanese music programs last year and drew attention by delivering a live performance of the mini 3rd album's title track "PARADISE."
In particular, the third Japan tour "2025-26 TREASURE TOUR [PULSE ON] IN JAPAN" sold out immediately upon its announcement, demonstrating unwavering ticket power with additional limited-view seats opened. Active local activities such as the tour and appearances on year-end music programs are thought to have been major drivers of this chart resurgence.
TREASURE successfully completed performances starting in Tokyo last October, including Aichi, Fukuoka and Kanagawa, and will cap off the Japan tour in Osaka in February. They will then move across Asia to Macau, Taipei, Manila, Jakarta, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. In particular, following a third entrance to Kyocera Dome Osaka and conquering another stadium-sized venue, Bangkok's National Stadium, the "2025-26 TREASURE TOUR 'PULSE ON'" is expected to further cement their presence on the global stage.
