The track is featured on the five-member group’s new single “Bakuretsu Aishiteru / Sukisugite Metsu!” which was released on Feb. 18. The single impressively sold 615,808 copies—more than tripling the first-week sales of their previous release—and secures the No. 2 spot for sales.

Previously, M!LK's highest chart position was No. 3, achieved with tracks like “Sukisugite Metsu!,” “Aono Oto,” “Over The Storm,” and “Ternero Fighter.”
Naniwa Danshi’s “HARD WORK” makes a strong debut at No. 2.
