RIIZE's EP 'II' Tops Oricon Weekly Album Ranking
the group’s second EP ‘II’ hit the top of Oricon’s Weekly Album Ranking. rookies no more — these boys are charting like veterans.
RIIZE named the EP 'II' and then rose to no. 1, and we refuse to be mature about it. the second EP took the top of oricon's weekly album ranking, which is not a small room to be the loudest voice in.
the good part is HOW. 'II' entered that chart at no. 31 after its june release and then climbed for four straight weeks until it hit the top. that's not a launch-week spike, that's japan falling in love slowly and in public.
the rest of the receipts: over a million copies moved in four days, making it their fourth million-seller, no. 1 on itunes' top albums chart in six regions, and a platinum certification from QQ Music in china. six members, zero filler.
they'd already pulled an oricon no. 1 with 'RIIZING' back in 2024, so at this point it's a pattern and not a fluke. and they did this one while running the 'RIIZE Playing Game' fan meetups through fukuoka, tokyo and kobe, because rest was never on the itinerary.
BRIIZE, go scream. responsibly, but loudly.
