Twice extends record for most Billboard 200 Top 10 albums by a female K-pop act

The group releases a remix album with diverse interpretations of the title track “Strategy”

Twice has extended the record for most Billboard 200 Top 10 albums by a female K-Pop act with Strategy, their critically acclaimed 14th mini album, which debuted in the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 Chart. Released on December 6th via JYP Entertainment/Imperial/Republic Records, the explosive album features seven new tracks, including a standout collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion.

Today (Wed, Dec 18th), the group released Strategy 2.0, a remix album offering diverse reinterpretations of their hit song “Strategy.” Now available globally on streaming platforms, the album includes five tracks — “Strategy (version 1.0),” the unique “Slom Remix,” the sleek club vibes of “House,” the intense tropical rhythms of “Moombahton,” and an instrumental version of “Strategy.”

This release caps off an extraordinary 2024 for the group. In February, the group dropped their 13th mini-album, With YOU-th, which made an impressive debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. This marked a significant milestone for Twice as their first No. 1 album since their debut in 2015, further cementing their record for the most top-10 albums on the Billboard 200 by a female K-pop act—now with five. With YOU-th also made history by securing the highest pure album sales among all K-pop girl groups. The critically acclaimed mini-album topped Billboard’s Top Album Sales and World Albums charts, marking the group’s fourth and sixth No. 1s on these charts, respectively.

The following month, Twice brought their 5th World Tour, Ready to Be, to Las Vegas for a sold-out, one-night-only encore performance, Ready to Be Once More, at Allegiant Stadium. Twice recently made waves with a record-breaking livestream performance on Amazon Music Live following the NFL’s Thursday Night Football. The event, broadcast across Twitch and Prime Video, drew the most unique viewers for any Amazon Music production to date. Twice capped off the momentous occasion with an exclusive fan pop-up experience hosted by Complex to celebrate Strategy. The two-day event set a record for the longest line at any Complex Pop-Up in Los Angeles, with fans waiting over 24 hours before the store even opened. In the same weekend, Twice held the most attended meet & greet for an artist on Roblox ever, with more than 33,000 concurrent attendees and over 300,000 total visits.
