TWICE has achieved a landmark victory on the U.S. Billboard main chart, ‘Billboard 200’. According to Billboard on the 3rd, the group’s latest mini album, ‘With YOU-th’, released on February 23rd, has soared to number one, marking a significant milestone with 95,000 units sold in the United States.
Previously, TWICE had made an impressive entry on the ‘Billboard 200’ with ‘READY TO BE’ in March 2023, occupying the second position. This album garnered a remarkable sales and streaming volume of 153,000 copies, establishing a new high for a K-pop girl group in Billboard’s history.
Since their debut in the Billboard charts in June 2020 with ‘MORE & MORE’, TWICE has consistently raised the bar, achieving multiple entries with their albums including ‘Eyes wide open’, ‘Taste of Love’, ‘Formula of Love: O+T=<3’, ‘BETWEEN 1&2’, ‘READY TO BE’, and the latest ‘With YOU-th’. This record has affirmed their position as the K-pop girl group with the most appearances on the ‘Billboard 200’.
‘With YOU-th’ has not only topped the ‘Billboard 200’ but also emerged as a million-seller, boasting initial sales of 1,063,615 copies according to Hanteo Chart. This achievement is particularly notable as it marks the first non-English album to clinch the number one spot on the ‘Billboard 200’ this year.
Celebrating their 10th year since debuting in October 2015, TWICE continues to reach new heights. Their latest album not only became their first million-selling release in its initial week but also secured the number one position on the ‘Billboard 200’, setting a new personal best for the group.
As TWICE embarks on the next leg of their fifth world tour ‘READY TO BE’ on March 16th at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, they are set to captivate fans across 27 regions with 49 shows worldwide. In July, their journey will take them to Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka and Nissan Stadium in Kanagawa, Japan, marking a historic first for an overseas female artist.
