The group lands at the top with With You-th
Global K-pop superstars Twice enter this week’s Billboard 200 chart at No. 1 with their 13th mini album, With You-th, which dropped February 23rd via JYP Entertainment/Imperial/Republic Records.
This placement marks a major milestone for the group, as it is Twice’s first No. 1 album since their debut in 2015 and extends their own record for the most top ten albums on the Billboard 200 for a female K-pop act, now totaling five. With You-th also solidifies Twice as achieving the purest album sales of all K-pop girl groups. The critically acclaimed mini album also secured the No. 1 spots on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and World Albums chart – the group’s fourth and sixth No. 1 placements on these charts, respectively.
Next week, the superstars will be heading to Las Vegas for a one-night-only encore performance of their 5th World Tour Ready to Be in the United States, Ready to Be Once More, at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, March 16th. Vcha will open the show.
2024 is already shaping up to be a banner year for Twice as they continue to break barriers and solidify themselves at the top of their game. Last year was no different. Twice kicked off 2023 by receiving the Breakthrough Award at the Billboard Women in Music Awards and releasing their 12th mini album, Ready to Be. The mini album entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 2. This placement extended Twice’s record for the most top 10 debuts on the Billboard 200 chart amongst all K-pop female acts, now totaling four. Ready to Be also holds the biggest pure sales week for an album by a female K-pop act in the US and secured the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart – the group’s third No. 1 placement on the chart. They also embarked on the North American leg of their 5th World Tour Ready to Be, playing 13 shows in stadiums and arenas across the country, beginning with a sold-out performance at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium. This tour made Twice the first female K-Pop girl group to play to sold-out shows at both MetLife and SoFi stadiums, and the first-ever girl group to perform at the latter.
