K-pop group TVXQ’s new Japanese single “STILL” grabbed the top seed in Japan’s Oricon weekly singles chart, making it their tenth album to rank in No. 1 on the same list.

A week after "STILL" made its debut atop Oricon’s daily singles chart, TVXQ’s victory on the chart shattered their own record as the first foreign artist to mark the largest number of album’s wins in the history of Oricon’s chart since its establishment in 1968.

At the same time, their success this week is TVXQ’s 26th time to score No. 1 on the weekly chart after their seventh Japanese single “Sky,” which was released before the breakup of the original five members.

TVXQ's new single includes the title track of the same name and another song titled "One More Thing."

Meanwhile, the two members of the group -- Max Changmin and U-Know Yunho -- are on their tour titled “TVXQ LIVE TOUR 2012~ TONE~,” which is scheduled to be held 26 times in 11 cities in Japan.

TVXQ kicked off as a two-member unit from the five-member group with the release of the fifth full-track album “Keep Your Head Down” in 2011.
