Jang Geun Suk : nabs No. 1 on Oricon's weekly album chart, shatters record !

Hallyu star Jang Geun Suk is poised to make a long run with his first official album, "Just Crazy."


After moving 88,000 copies between May 30 and June 4, the actor and singer broke Oricon's record by becoming the first foreign solo artist in the coveted chart's history to score double wins on its daily and weekly charts with the first official album.


This comes as no surprise as Jang's "Just Crazy" already logged around 130,000 copies in sales within 24 hours of going into release.

The next highest-ranking overseas solo artists are American musician Skatman John and K-pop artist K, who concurrently sat at the second spot on both charts in 1995 and 2006, respectively.

As his first single "Let Me Cry," dropped in April last year, also topped both charts upon its release, he set another record of becoming the first solo artist in 17 years and four months to have both single and full-track albums sit atop the two charts.

Meanwhile, Jang is scheduled to hit the road for his Asia tour, dubbed "THE CRI SHOW 2," starting with Seoul in July. He will then take the show to four cities in Japan -- Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka --, two cities in China -- Shanghai and Shenzen -- , Taiwan and Thailand in order, the officials said.

Jang Keun Suk’s ‘Just Crazy’ makes history on the Oricon

Jang Geun Suk‘s first Japanese studio album, ‘Just Crazy‘, has been revealed to have topped Japan’s Oricon weekly chart!


Released on May 30th, the album topped the Oricon daily chart immediately after its release. In its first week alone, the album sold 88,000 copies, which has secured itself a spot at the top of the weekly chart as well.


Since Moriyama Naota‘s record in 2004, Jang Geun Suk marks the first male solo artist to top both the daily and the weekly charts in eight years, in addition to being the first male international solo artist.


As remarkable as the feat is, he’s no stranger to topping the chart, as his first single release, ‘Let Me Cry‘, topped the Oricon daily and weekly, which means that both his first single and studio albums ranked at the top of the daily and weekly charts. This was only accomplished by Uchida Yuki in 1994 and 1995, making Jang Geun Suk the first in nearly 17 years and four months.


In related news, Jang Geun Suk will be kicking off his ‘2012 Jang Geun Suk Asia Tour THE CRI SHOW 2‘ starting with Seoul in July.
