there's a lot of factors to their popularity! they were initially a temporary backdancing group for Domoto Koichi & the KinKi Kids (you can see them in old KinKi Kids performances. SO CUTE!). they were formed back in 2001, creating a solid fanbase since then. made their "singing debut" at Tackey & Tsubasa's Hatachi con 2002. Jin/Kame in Gokusen 2. of course, there's Shuuji to Akira w/ Kame/Pi. their DVD "Live Kaizokuban" was a top-seller (it's in the Top 10 of overall best-selling Music DVDs!). they also had another Live DVD (i can never remember the title, it's so long!) & Photobook. and this was ALL PRIOR to the debut. it's quite amazing, ne? they've shattered all sorts of records when they were still Johnny's Juniors. and of course, their debut last year broke some more records.
i know Arashi #4 & KAT-TUN #5. there are more within the top 20, but the list i have is outdated. K8, NEWS, KinKi Kids are on it though.
