[Variety] ENHYPEN continues to dominate the Japanese music scene with their latest mega-hit.
According to the Japan Record Association’s January report, ENHYPEN’s mini-album ‘THE SIN: VANISH’ has surpassed 250,000 units in cumulative shipments, earning a prestigious platinum certification.
The Japan Record Association awards tiered certifications based on cumulative album shipments: Gold (100,000 units), Platinum (250,000 units), and Double Platinum (500,000 units).
The album has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm since its Japanese debut, claiming the top spot on the Oricon Daily Album Chart on January 21 and reigning supreme on Line Music’s Weekly Album Top 100, cementing ENHYPEN’s powerhouse status in the market.
Beyond the tallying period of January 14-20, ENHYPEN maintained high rankings across major Oricon and Billboard Japan chart categories, further solidifying their robust fanbase in Japan.
Capitalizing on this momentum, ENHYPEN is set to host a global fan event, ‘VAMPIRE IS COMING,’ in Tokyo on the 14th. The event will feature a screening of the mini-album’s concept video and provide an opportunity for fan interaction.
The group’s skyrocketing popularity is evident in both domestic and international markets. Notably, ‘THE SIN: VANISH’ achieved an impressive 2.07 million copies in first-week sales, marking ENHYPEN’s fourth ‘double million seller’ album.
The album also made waves on the Billboard 200, debuting at No. 2 and extending the group’s streak to six consecutive albums in the chart’s top 10.
In other news, ‘SHOUT OUT,’ a track from ENHYPEN’s mini-album ‘MANIFESTO: DAY 1,’ has been chosen as the official anthem for Team Korea at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, boosting morale among the national athletes.
