We’ve seen several K-pop acts top the Billboard 200 chart over the years, and it was just a matter of time before TWICE followed in their footsteps. Their moment to shine in the spotlight has finally arrived, and they hit No. 1 with their mini-album With YOU-th.
With YOU-th hit the shelves on February 23, and earned 95,000 equivalent album units during its debut week on the Billboard 200 chart. Album sales comprised 90,000, helping With YOU-th hit No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart, while SEA units amounted to 4,500 (equaling 6.33 million official on-demand streams) and TEA units amounted to 500 of the total album units.
These numbers are quite impressive considering that With YOU-th is not a studio album but an EP featuring just six songs. “I Got You” was released as the first single in early February, while the second single “One Spark” accompanied the mini-album’s release.
With YOU-th marks TWICE’s first album to hit No. 1 in the U.S. and the third album by a K-pop all-girl group in less than three years to climb to the top. BLACKPINK topped the Billboard 200 with Born Pink in October 2022, followed by NewJeans with Get Up last August.
