The 20-year-old K-pop sensation BoA has again claimed the top spot in Japan’s Oricon music charts with her new album “Outgrow.” Her fourth, it was released on Feb. 15 and made it immediately to the top of the daily charts and thence to the top of the weekly charts as well. Since her debut with “Listen to My Heart” in 2002, which she rapidly followed with “Valenti” and “Love & Honesty,” she has had four straight chart-toppers in Japan, not counting her best-of album “Best of Soul.”

Oricon says after Ayumi Hamasaki, who had seven straight albums at the top, BoA ranks second among women artists tied with Misia, Mai Kuraki and Namie Amuro. With male singers included, BoA stands at no. 5. The new album contains the hit singles “Do the Motion,” “Make a Secret” and “Everlasting” and new songs like the title track and “Cosmic Eyes.” The album will be released in Korea on Wednesday.

OUTGROW has the best CD cover I've ever seem (the CD version). Honestly, i'd buy that album just for the cover with no regrets. The album itself is rather mediocre though. I do love Dakishimeru and after a few listens learned to love OUTGROW~Ready Butterfly~ as well. I'm fond of "Everlasting", "cosmic eyes", "kimi no tonari de" and actually learned to like "make secret" quite a lot. The rest was forgettable but it's cool to see she's doing well

Thanks for the news nmskalmn.

It's an album you need to warm up to, the only one of hers that hasn't for me was VALENTI.

I"m happy for her...OUTGROW is a pretty decent album. I like it just about as much as Love&Honesty.

This is great news. OUTGROW is a great album and is something that I would listen to when I just want to have fun and sing along.
