T.O.P, which stands for Twinkling Of Paradise, was Shinhwa's second album. It garnered much success with T.O.P climbing the charts quickly (debuting at #4 and peaking at #3), follow by Shinwha's second single, Yo!. Shinhwa's second album made a greater impact than their first one as it as it coincided with the breakup of H.O.T.[1] Although they promoted their first album well, Shinhwa did not do much promotions for their second album and instead, went on working with their third album. Despite the promotions, T.O.P was a success and spent about 24 weeks on the chart before it dropped, one of the very first accomplishments the band achieved.
