K-Pop Group ILLIT Makes Waves on Billboard 200 with Second Mini Album

K-pop sensation ILLIT has once again made a significant impact on the U.S. music scene by securing a spot on the Billboard 200 with their second mini album. ILLIT is the only K-pop artist to debut this year and have two albums enter the Billboard 200.

According to the latest chart released by Billboard on November 23, ILLIT's mini album 'I'LL LIKE YOU' debuted at number 94 on the Billboard 200. This marks their second consecutive entry on the chart, following their first mini album 'SUPER REAL ME,' which reached number 93 in March.

ILLIT's presence is even more pronounced on other charts. 'I'LL LIKE YOU' claimed the second spot on the 'World Albums' chart and ranked sixth on both the 'Top Album Sales' and 'Top Current Album Sales' charts. Riding this wave of success, ILLIT has been recognized as the number one 'Emerging Artist' globally and secured the 37th position on the 'Artist 100' chart.

On the 'Global (Excl. U.S.)' chart, two of ILLIT's tracks have made their mark. The title track 'Cherish (My Love)' from 'I'LL LIKE YOU' and 'Magnetic' from 'SUPER REAL ME' are positioned at 105 and 126, respectively. 'Magnetic' has impressively maintained its presence on the 'Global (Excl. U.S.)' chart for 33 consecutive weeks, following its initial success on the Billboard 'Hot 100' in April.

ILLIT is set to end the year on a high note with appearances at various award shows and year-end broadcasts. They have been invited to perform at the '2024 MAMA AWARDS' in Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre on November 21 and Japan's prestigious year-end music festival 'Kohaku Uta Gassen' on December 31. Their remarkable achievements in less than a year since debuting are truly noteworthy.
