Best Selection 2010 was certified 2× Platinum by the RIAJ and is the best-selling album of Tohoshinki's career. [1] It is also the best-selling greatest hits album by a foreign artist in Japan.

Chart performance

Best Selection 2010 debuted at number-one on the Oricon Daily Album Chart, selling 228,542 copies on the first day.

[4] With this, Best Selection 2010 became the group's first number one album in Japan. They broke a 14-year record for the highest first-week sales by a foreign group in the country, formerly set by American rock band Bon Jovi's sixth studio album These Days with 379,000 copies sold. [4] Tohoshinki's record was broken 10 years later, in 2020, by fellow South Korean group BTS, who sold over 564,000 copies of their third Japanese studio album Map of the Soul: 7 - The Journey in its first week. [5]

The album also entered the Global United Charts[ unreliable source? ] at number one, making it the highest selling album in the world for that week, surpassing releases by other artists like Sade, Lady Gaga, and The Black Eyed Peas.[ citation needed ]
