August 4, 2021

 South Korean boy band SHINee topped a key music chart in Japan with its latest Japanese-language EP “Superstar,” the group’s agency said Tuesday.

The five-track album, released on July 28, ranked No. 1 on Oricon’s weekly album chart after reaching number one on the daily album chart, according to SM Entertainment.

It marks the group’s fourth No. 1 on the weekly chart after “I’m Your Boy,” “D×D×D” and “SHINee: The Best from Now On” released between 2014 and 2018.

The album debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes top album chart in 19 territories upon release.
