ILLIT Lands First Billboard 200 Top 10 as 'BREAK EVEN' Debuts at No. 6

ILLIT's BREAK EVEN has debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200, the group's first top 10 on the U.S. albums chart, Yonhap reports.

Billboard's preview of the chart, released Monday U.S. time, puts the EP at 37,000 equivalent album units for the week, 32,500 of them from album sales, Yonhap reported.

Billboard announced on November 8 local time that the album landed at No. 1 on its Top Album Sales chart, the first ILLIT release to top it, Soompi reported.

This is the group's fifth appearance on the Billboard 200. Its four earlier entries all fell short of the top 20: "SUPER REAL ME" peaked at No. 93, "I'LL LIKE YOU" at No. 94, "bomb" at No. 171 and "MAMIHLAPINATAPAI" at No. 26, according to Soompi.

Luminate figures cited by Soompi put 4,500 of the week's units in streaming equivalent albums, which works out to 4.87 million on-demand audio streams, and mark the 32,500 copies as ILLIT's strongest U.S. sales week so far.

The title track moved too. allkpop reported that BELIFT LAB said on November 4 that "You're Under Arrest" opened at No. 1 worldwide and No. 3 in the United States on Spotify's Top Song Debut chart for October 30 to November 1, with the b-side "Pop" at No. 4 globally and No. 7 in the U.S. despite no music video and no separate performance promotion.

The single, out October 26, passed 10 million Spotify streams in its first week, and more than 340,000 TikTok videos had used it as of November 4, per allkpop.

In Korea, BREAK EVEN sold 444,072 copies in its first week on the Hanteo Chart, a career high for the group, while "You're Under Arrest" reached No. 3 on Melon's Top 100 and No. 3 on Bugs' real-time chart by November 2, allkpop reported.

Soompi also reported that BREAK EVEN entered the World Albums chart at No. 7 ahead of its U.S. physical release, with "MAMIHLAPINATAPAI" holding at No. 13 in its 26th week. The 2024 "Tick-Tack" video cleared 100 million YouTube views on November 8 at about 2:15 a.m. KST, the group's fifth to reach that mark.
