CN Blue became the first foreign band in 41 years to top the Oricon’s weekly single chart in Japan. Since going on sale on February 1, the group’s second major Japanese single, “Where You Are,” sold over 60,000 copies in the first week of its release, topping both the daily and weekly charts.

According to Oricon, this is the first time for a foreign band to achieve the feat since the Mexican band, “Mashmakhan,” did with their 1971 single, “As the Years Go By.” CN Blue’s new single comes with “Where You Are,” written and produced by Jung Yong Hwa, “Get Away,” written by Lee Jong Hyun, and ”Feeling.”

CN Blue’s Japanese debut single, “In My Head,” sold over 100,000 copies last year, being recognized as a gold level record. They also became the first Korean artist to perform at the “MTV Unplugged” concert in Japan earlier this week. CN Blue will embark on a Japanese fan club live tour starting from February 13. 

Check out their live performance of "Where You Are" below! (starts at 2:47)

??? haven't KARA topped the weekly chart at the very least? or do they not count as a 'band'?

I don't think they're count as a band, idol would be appropriate.

Jk. Lol I'm too slow, I thought they wouldn't post it till Oricon does. Anyway so happy for them it's not even funny. The live was really just so good and they're really funny and cool on the shows and not awkward at all imo. Also Jonghyun that solo, oh my pants where did you go?

People who write these articles really need to be more specific~
The first time I read this I was all WTF. There are plenty of Korean groups who have been #1...
Until I realized that it meant bands, as in bands that play their own instruments.

Anyways, CONGRATS TO CN BLUE!!!! I'm happy that they're so well-liked in Japan ^^

Yay! I really appreciate their Japanese stuff because they're presented more as "CN BLUE" as opposed to "Yonghwa and the other three randoms who back him up" like they often are in Korea. Plus, they aren't forced to handsync in Japan like they are in Korea.
