GOT7 is making a splash in Japan with its fourth single “My Swagger,” which topped Billboard’s Japan Singles Chart from Monday to Wednesday.

The single also secured the top spot on the Tower Records Daily Singles Chart for four consecutive days and second place on Oricon on Wednesday.

“My Swagger” is themed on “developing oneself for progress.” As such, the boy band has been rising in fame in Japan with concerts in Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo, Sapporo, Sendai and Fukuoka throughout May, all having sold out.

GOT7 will hold concerts in Tokyo on June 24 and 25. The group debuted in January 2014, and has seven members: JB, Mark, Jackson, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam and Yugyeom.
