ENHYPEN has once again proven its strong presence in Japan, securing a top-tier position on Oricon’s year-end charts and recording the highest ranking among all overseas artists this year. Oricon released its ‘Oricon Year End Rankings 2025,’ which track sales and performance of releases between December 23, 2024, and December 15, 2025. ENHYPEN stood out prominently, placing multiple releases on the annual charts and solidifying their status as a leading global K-pop act in the Japanese market.
No. 8 on the Singles Chart — Best Among Overseas Artists
ENHYPEN’s fourth Japanese single ‘YOI’ (宵 -YOI-) ranked No. 8 on the Year-End Singles Chart, marking the highest position achieved by a non Japanese artist in this category.
The achievement reflects not only strong initial demand but sustained popularity throughout the year. ‘YOI’ surpassed 750,000 copies in cumulative shipments as of last month, earning ENHYPEN their first ever Triple Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) a milestone that underscores their exceptional sales power.
Album Performance Adds to Momentum
ENHYPEN’s success extended beyond singles. Their sixth mini album ‘DESIRE : UNLEASH’ also demonstrated impressive performance, ranking No. 11 on Oricon’s Year-End Album Chart. The album has consistently broken the group’s own records, topping both Oricon’s Weekly Album Ranking and Weekly Combined Album Ranking, while posting the highest album sales figures in ENHYPEN’s career to date. These results highlight not only fandom growth but also strong general-market appeal.
A Firm Foothold in Japan
With both singles and albums charting at the year-end level, ENHYPEN has firmly established itself as one of the most influential K-pop acts in Japan. Their ability to compete and outperform many domestic and international artists on Oricon’s annual rankings signals a deep rooted and expanding fanbase in the region. Industry observers note that such results are especially significant given the competitiveness of Japan’s physical music market, where long term sales consistency plays a key role in year-end rankings.
Looking Ahead to 2026
ENHYPEN’s momentum shows no signs of slowing. The group is set to return on January 16, 2026, with the release of their seventh mini album ‘THE SIN : VANISH.’ Anticipation is already building, as fans expect the group to continue evolving musically while maintaining the strong performance power that has fueled their global growth.
