TWICE has reached the pinnacle of the US Billboard main chart, the "Billboard 200", with their new mini album "With YOU-th", released on February 23. According to Billboard's official website announcement on March 3rd (local time), "With YOU-th" achieved 95,000 units (according to Luminate's tally) in the US, securing the No. 1 spot on the "Billboard 200".
Previously, TWICE entered the "Billboard 200" at No. 2 with their work "READY TO BE" in March 2023, setting a record for the highest album and streaming sales for a K-pop girl group on Billboard with 153,000 units. Since their first entry into the "Billboard 200" chart with their ninth mini album "MORE & MORE" in June 2020, TWICE has consistently made their mark with albums such as "Eyes wide open", "Taste of Love", "Formula of Love: O+T=<3", "BETWEEN 1&2", "READY TO BE", and now "With YOU-th", setting the record for the most entries by a K-pop girl group. Notably, TWICE has written history this year by achieving the first "Billboard 200" No. 1 for a non-English language album.
"With YOU-th" also became a million-seller, recording an initial sales volume (first-week sales) of 1,063,615 units according to Hanteo Chart, marking TWICE's first million-selling album since their debut in October 2015. Celebrating their 10th year since debut in 2024, TWICE's latest release not only achieved their first million-selling initial sales but also secured the No. 1 spot on the "Billboard 200", setting a new personal record. The consistent performance and continued growth of TWICE, a leading K-pop girl group with numerous records, are evident in this achievement, drawing congratulations and support from fans worldwide, including their fandom ONCE.
Prior to this, the album "With YOU-th" topped the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart for three consecutive days starting on February 23rd and ranked No. 1 in various regions, including the US, Japan, and Mexico, until February 26th.
