allkpop



Korean rock band CNBLUE's 2nd major single "Where you are" sold 60,000 copies in its first week and topped the Oricon Singles Chart for the week of February 13th.

CNBLUE made their indie debut back in 2009 and released their major label debut single titled, "In My Head" last October.

A foreign band has not topped the singles chart for 41 years. It last occurred back in January 18, 1971, when Canadian rock band Mashmakhan released their single "As the Years Go By" under the name "Two in the fog". CNBLUE�is the fourth Korean male artist to have topped the Oricon Singles Chart following Tohoshinki, JEJUNG (Jaejoong) & YUCHUN (Yoochun) (from Tohoshinki), and Jang Geun Suk.

The full weekly charts for the week of February 13th has not yet been released.
