South Korean girl group Twice has achieved a remarkable milestone this week by claiming the top spot on several prestigious Billboard charts in the United States. Their latest release, With You-th, has garnered immense commercial success, propelling them to new heights in the music industry.
With You-th debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, marking Twice's first time reaching the summit of this highly competitive ranking. The EP secured the top position with 95,000 equivalent units sold, dethroning popular artists Ye West and Ty Dolla $ign's Vultures 1.
Prior to Twice's ascent, Vultures 1 had maintained its reign on the Billboard 200 for two consecutive weeks. However, the South Korean group's debut leader swiftly surpassed the hip-hop duo, relegating them to third place.
With a substantial sales figure of 90,000 copies in its initial tracking period, With You-th boasted the highest starting sales in 2024, underscoring Twice's strong fan base and market appeal. The EP's commercial success also propelled the group to the top of the Top Album Sales chart.
On the World Albums chart, a domain often dominated by K-pop acts, With You-th emerged as a swift victor, further solidifying Twice's global popularity and influence in the music scene.
Twice's achievement on the Billboard 200 is particularly noteworthy, as they became only the third South Korean girl group to claim the top spot on this prestigious chart, joining the ranks of Blackpink and NewJeans. When considering male acts as well, Twice stands out as the eighth name to achieve this remarkable feat, underscoring their exceptional talent and widespread appeal.
