On January 27, 2023, TXT released their much-awaited mini-album, The Name Chapter: Temptation, and in less than 24 hours of its release, the entire album hit several milestones. The album had them breaking not just their own previous records but records of K-pop groups in general. They became the first-ever K-pop act to reach a certain charting milestone with a mini-album.

For starters, The Name Chapter: Temptation sold over 1.87 million copies on the first day, ranking them as the fourth group to have the highest first-day sales ever on the Hanteo Charts. Given that the predecessors of the album are all BTS albums, they became the second-ever artist to bag the title and even the group with the highest first-day sales among the fourth-generation K-pop groups.

Moreover, the entire album has surpassed over 3 million streams within just nine hours, according to MelOn. The band's title track, Sugar Rush Ride debuted at #46 on MelOn 24Hits, and yet again, they topped among the fourth-generation K-pop groups.

In addition to all this, all the tracks from TXT's mini-album were ranked in the top 10 of MelOn's Top 100 chart. This is what makes them the first-ever K-pop act to achieve this with a mini-album.
