Oricon Chart Domination
NCT DREAM are proving their staying power in Japan with their fifth full-length album, ‘Go Back To The Future’, released on July 14, 2025.
The album claimed the No. 1 spot on the Oricon Daily Album Chart for two consecutive days (August 9–10) and also took the top position on the Weekly Overseas Album Chart (dated August 18). These results underscore the group’s strong and growing fanbase in Japan.
A Cinematic Concept

Internationally:
- Entered the UK Official Chart’s Single Sales & Single Downloads rankings for two consecutive weeks

This multi-market dominance reflects NCT DREAM’s ability to connect with fans across languages and borders.
