A big first for ILLIT. Their fifth mini album ‘BREAK EVEN’ has debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 dated November 14, the group’s first time in the top 10 of Billboard’s main albums chart, Billboard reports.
The album earned 37,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the tracking week ending November 5, ILLIT’s best week yet. Most of that came from 32,500 album sales, also a career-best sales week, and that was enough to send ‘BREAK EVEN’ straight to No. 1 on Top Album Sales, another first for the group. Streaming added 4,500 units, or about 4.87 million on-demand streams of the album’s tracks.
It’s a huge jump from their last high. ‘BREAK EVEN’ is ILLIT’s fifth album on the Billboard 200, and before this their best was No. 26, set by ‘MAMIHLAPINATAPAI’ in May. Back home, the album already set a new first-week sales record for the group, and its title track ‘You’re Under Arrest’ has picked up its first music show win.
Billboard will post the full November 14 chart on November 10. In the meantime, the ‘You’re Under Arrest’ music video is right below.
