ILLIT Just Crashed the Billboard 200 Top 10 for the First Time — and Topped the Sales Chart Too
ILLIT has officially broken into the U.S. Top 10. The K-pop girl group’s new mini-album BREAK EVEN debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 — the group’s first-ever Top 10 entry in the United States.
The chart, dated Nov. 14 and announced Nov. 8, marks ILLIT’s fifth entry on the Billboard 200 overall — and a major step up for the five-member group.
According to Luminate, BREAK EVEN earned 37,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Nov. 5, including 32,500 in traditional album sales — the group’s best sales week ever. Those sales sent the mini-album straight to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart, making it the best-selling album of the week in the U.S. and the first ILLIT release ever to top that chart.
The mini-album also debuted at No. 7 on Billboard’s World Albums chart for the week ending Nov. 7.
For ILLIT — Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee and Iroha — the debut underscores the group’s growing momentum in the U.S., where strong physical sales have powered the breakthrough as much as streaming.
