On December 4, the renowned American magazine Rolling Stone published its yearly list of "The 50 Best Albums of 2021" with TXT being the only Korean singer to land a spot. TXT's The Chaos Chapter: FIGHT OR ESCAPE is the repackaged version of their second studio album The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE. The magazine listed it at No. 46.

Rolling Stone's very own Kristine Kwak wrote, "This ascendant South Korean boy band elevated their sound and image this year with ‘The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape,’ a repackaging of their sophomore studio album, ‘The Chaos Chapter: Freeze.’ All five members of Tomorrow X Together got writing credits on the album, delivering their first English-language song with the infectious ‘Magic,’ while incorporating arena pop rock into their already high-energy sound on ‘0X1=Lovesong (I Know I Love You).’ The highlight is the TikTok-viral ballad ‘Anti-Romantic,’ a tender tale of heartbreak realism that showcases the group’s impressive vocal and emotional range.”

The group's second studio album, "The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE" set a record on the this year's Billboard 200 as the longest-charting K-Pop album of 2021 with 13 non-consecutive weeks of being included in the list. It also pulled off an astounding feat of being included in Billboard's year-end Top 200 Albums chart for 2021.
