On February 6, Oricon said the following: "EXO's first full Japanese album, 'Countdown', recorded an estimated 89,000 units in sales during the first week of release, placed first on the weekly list [of February 12]" . The album also continued in first place on Oricon's daily album list for three consecutive days after its release, scoring first place four times in total during the past week.
Recall that the group first released music in Japan in November 2015, with its first single "Love Me Right ~ romantic universe ~", This is the second time since that single that EXO has been placed first on the weekly list of Oricon after only a week of sales. This also makes EXO the first foreign group whose first single and first album occupy the first place in the weekly list of Oricon.
