TWICE is, without a doubt, one of the most successful all-female K-pop acts of all time. Just recently, the group added another feather to its cap when its "Eyes Wide Open" album made it to the Billboard 200.
TWICE Finally Made it to Billboard 200
Nayeon, Tzuyu, Jeongyeon, Chaeyoung, Momo, Dahyun, Sana, Jihyo, and Mina released their ninth studio album in October, which included the title track called "I Can't Stop Me." The physical album just hit the music stores in the United States in early December, but it is starting to make waves there already.
This week, TWICE's "Eyes Wide Open" placed at No. 72 in the Billboard 200. The group considers the recent placement as one of its major feats in 2020. In fact, the highest-ranking Nayeon, Tzuyu, Jeongyeon, Chaeyoung, Momo, Dahyun, Sana, Jihyo, and Mina achieved on the same chart was at No. 200, in June, with their hit track "MORE & MORE."
If that is not enough, the "Eyes Wide Open" is, also, No. 2 on Billboard's World Album chart while it placed on the 12th spot on the Top Album Sales chart. TWICE also achieved another record as they could nab the No. 73 ranks on the Artist 100 chart.
