B2ST reaches 2nd place on the Oricon Weekly Chart

Having just released their debut Japanese album ‘SHOCK‘, the boys of B2ST already accrued immense popularity from the public, as the album climbed to second place on the Oricon Weekly Chart.
Oricon Style stated on their official site, “In just one week, B2ST’s debut album ‘SHOCK’ had sold 29,000 copies, which placed them second on the Oricon Weekly Chart. The group has set a new record for debut album sales not only in Japan, but in all of Asia.”
Although B2ST had made plans for significant promotions and concerts, everything had to be canceled because of the recent Japanese earthquake.
