TWICE returns to the Billboard Album Charts with highly-anticipated 9th MIni-album "MORE & MORE." The K-pop powerhouse debuts at #2 on the World Albums Chart, #3 on the Heatseekers Albums Chart, and enters the Billboard 200 and Artist 100 charts for the first time.

“TWICE shows that it can embrace a darker, more mature concept without giving up its trademark bright demeanor.” – TIME

“MORE & MORE features seven songs that tell a story of youthful energy and confidence.” – TEEN VOGUE

“With the coronavirus pandemic canceling events and delaying tours, 2020 is not the year any artist envisioned having. But K-pop girl group TWICE is still rising.” – ELLE

“They say second time’s a charm, but for TWICE, the all-girl K-pop group making waves across oceans, it’s more like the ninth. While each of the group’s nine members—Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu—stand on their own, it’s the power of their collective performance that has put them on the map.” – INTERVIEW

On the heels of their 2019 Billboard chart-topping EP, Feel Special, highly acclaimed K-pop phenomenon, TWICE, continue to conquer the international pop-stage with the release of their highly anticipated 9th mini-album, MORE & MORE. Released on June 1st to all streaming platforms via Republic Records, the album made a strong debut across multiple charts in its first week of release, including Billboard’s World Albums chart where it landed at #2, Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart where it hit at #3 – a new chart peak for the group, and their first-ever entry onto the highly coveted Billboard 200 and Artist 100 charts.

Opening with the energetic and dance-heavy first single “MORE & MORE,” the 7-song set delivers the group’s signature brand of cheery-pop while expanding into uncharted songwriting territory, described recently by Time Magazine as a “more mature concept without giving up its trademark bright demeanor.” The official music video for “MORE & MORE” was recently shot in Seoul, features new dance choreography from the group, and has since accumulated over a staggering 80-million views on the group’s YouTube channel since its release.

MORE & MORE also includes an impressive list of first time US collaborators including hit songwriters Julia Michaels (Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber), Justin Tranter (Halsey, Gwen Stefani) and chart-topping pop songstress Zara Larson. TWICE members were also involved in the writing process, including Nayeon, who wrote "MAKE ME GO;" and Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung, who co-wrote "SWEET SUMMER DAY."

“One in a Million! Our 9th mini album MORE & MORE is finally revealed,” said TWICE in a group statement. “We hope you enjoy the new single, a work very near and dear to us, and please be sure to check out our new choreography.”

This past April, the group released their first YouTube Original Series entitled “TWICE: Seize the Light.” Revealing a more intimate look into the world of the renowned K-Pop idols, the documentary features raw behind-the-scenes footage, personal interviews, and rare audition footage before the nine members came together. The series also documents how the group formed and eventually went on to break multiple barriers and dominate the charts.

Since TWICE’s inception in 2016, the group have become global superstars, rapidly taking the U.S. by storm. Having most recently graced Allure Magazine’s May 2020 cover, the group have been praised by the likes of Harper’s Bazaar, Billboard, BuzzFeed, and TIME Magazine amongst many others.

In 2019, the group successfully completed their world tour, TWICELIGHTS, which included sold-out shows at The Forum in Los Angeles, the Prudential Center in Newark, where they performed in front of 11,000 fans, and a show at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago. TWICE’s 2019 release, Feel Special, peaked at #6 on Billboard’s US World Albums Chart and #10 on Billboard’s Heatseeker’s Chart. Their single of the same name peaked at #1 on Billboard’s US World Digital Song chart.
