TWICE has been breaking records left and right with their June comeback for More & More. Most recently, the nine-member group surpassed the record set by Mariah Carey and Madonna in Japan's Oricon chart.
According to a report by All Kpop, TWICE's More & More rose to No. 1 of the Oricon Chart, making it their sixth album to achieve the feat. This broke Mariah Carey and Madonna's record of five albums reaching No. 1 on the Japanese chart.
With the feat, TWICE is now trailing BoA's record of seven No. 1 albums on the Oricon chart, landing them in the second place of foreign female artists with the most number of No. 1 albums.
True to their record breaking streak, TWICE also broke the record for the fastest song to reach 100 million views on YouTube for their title track More & More.
The music video took only 12 days and 22 hours to break the 100 million mark. Interestingly, TWICE broke their own record because the previous song that held the honor was their 2019 MV for Feel Special, which took 21 days and six hours to reach the milestone.
More & More adds to TWICE's growing list of MVs to reach 100 million views on YouTube which includes Like OOH-AHH, Cheer Up, TT, Knock Knock, Signal, Likey, Heart Shaker, What is Love?, YES or YES, Fancy, and Dance the Night Away.
Meanwhile, TWICE recently ran into some controversy after Inkigayo posted their fifth music show win online. ONCEs, their loyal fandom took issue with a video uploaded featuring the winner's encore fancam.
After the end of the video, fans noticed the voice of a man whom they believed was a staff member at Inkigayo making a comment that TWICE was bad at singing. This irked the fans as the action was disrespectful and unprofessional.
However, there was some debate as to what the audio was, as it was, reportedly, unclear what the person was saying. In response, SBS issued an official statement saying that the audio that could be heard on the fancam was not a staff member, but was actually part of a commercial that they played at the studio to serve as a cue that the show was still ongoig.
They apologized for the confusion and explained how Inkigayo's live performances work. To prove that the clip was part of a commercial, Inkigayo also released a comparison video between the controvbersial voice clip and the actual commercial.
