It’s also their 4th consecutive original album that topped the chart, renewing the earlier record held by Bon Jovi for about 5 years and 1 month (who was previously the only foreign artist in Japan to have 3 albums consecutively topping the ORICON chart following the release of their album 「The Circle」 on 2009.11.16), as the first and only overseas group in history to have the most original albums consecutively topping the ORICON Album Sales ranking chart.
