TWICE Sweeps Records on Billboard Hot 200 Chart
TWICE's pre-release track "The Feels," which is in the album, became the group's first song ever to chart on Billboard's Hot 100 last October.
The nine-member girl group hit the top 10 early in 2021 with their 10th album, "Taste of Love," peaking at the 6th spot.
So far, TWICE is the only K-pop girl group to have two albums enter the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart in a year. This is the most notable milestone of the girl group, along with their recent global growth.
In June 2020, TWICE's 9th mini album "MORE & MORE" first entered the Billboard 200 chart. Then, in December of the same tear, their 2nd regular album "Eyes wide open" went to the chart's 72nd place.
In June 2021, with their 10th mini-album "Taste of Love," they jumped to 6th place, which is a surprise to the music industry. Particularly, "Taste of Love" performance last summer is the highest in the history for a mini-album to achieve the milestone, and which was released by a K-pop girl group.
