K-pop boy band 2PM topped Japan’s Oricon weekly chart with its latest Japanese EP, the music site Oricon Style announced Tuesday.

2PM’s ninth Japanese EP, “Guilty Love,” claimed the No. 1 spot on the Oricon Weekly Albums chart in the week after its release, selling 98,000 records.

The achievement comes a year and three months after the sextet topped the Oricon chart with its single “Winter Games.”

The lead single “Guilty Love” is a dance song with a funky bass line, designed to bring out 2PM’s sophisticated side.

The boys plan to hold a Japanese concert tour in six major cities in April.
