ZERO is the eleventh single by B'z, released on October 7, 1992.
The single debuted at number one on the Weekly Oricon Singles chart at release, where it remained for two weeks in a row. With first week sales of over 615,000 and eventual sales doubling that, it is one of the band's best-selling singles to date. Finishing eleventh for the year of 1992 and lasting for 28 weeks on the charts in all, "ZERO" was later awarded Million classification by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
The single was simultaneously remastered and re-released on March 26, 2003 along with nine other of the band's older singles and the then-latest single, "IT'S SHOWTIME!!". On the daily chart at launch, B'z held a monopoly over the chart's top eleven slots, with the new single ranking at the top and the re-issues covering the remaining ten. Ultimately, B'z would set a record that week for holding nine of the Top 10 slots for the week of release, with "ZERO" coming in fourth place.
