It later managed to become the fifteenth best selling single in Oricon's 1994 yearly charts.

The band's first No.1 single on Oricon chart was their 5th single "Innocent World" which was released in June, 1994, becoming the best selling single of 1994 and winning the Japan Record Award (Record of the year) in 1994. The band also released their 6th single "Tomorrow Never Knows" on November 10, 1994. The single solidified the group's popularity with its sales, managing to sell over 2.7 million copies which is the seventh highest-selling single in Japan in Oricon history.{{cite web|url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/ranking/52143/full/|script-title=ja:「およげ！たいやきくん」がギネス認定、再評価の気運高まる|publisher=Oricon|date=2008-02-20|accessdate=2010-05-17|language=Japanese}} and becoming the band's highest selling single to date.
