TWICE enters the top 10 of the Billboard 200 thanks to their strong bond
９人の強い絆でつかんだ「ビルボード200」トップ10入り（TWICE）

TWICE's "Taste of Love" is No. 6 on the US Billboard 200 - their first TOP 10


★ TWICE has made it into the TOP 10 of the US album chart "Billboard 200" for the first time.


According to Billboard, TWICE's 10th mini album "Taste of Love", released on the 11th, debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200. Sales during the collection period were 46,000 copies, of which 43,000 were physical copies, and "SEA", which converts the number of streams into physical copies, was 3,000 copies.


This is TWICE's highest ranking ever. TWICE previously ranked 200th with "MORE & MORE" and entered the Billboard 200 for the first time, and then ranked 72nd with "Eyes Wide Open" released last year.


Also, this is the second K-pop girl group to enter the top 10 of the Billboard 200, following BlackPink. BlackPink ranked 2nd with "THE ALBUM" released in 2020.


TWICE is currently promoting their title song "Alcohol-Free".


(TWICE "Taste of Love" strange release date... "Are they aiming for the US Billboard and music shows at the same time?")

TWICE has finally entered the top 10 of the US album chart "Billboard 200". Following BlackPink, this is their first achievement.


I learned a long time ago that to enter the "World Rankings", you need to sell more than 3,000 copies of your album, and to enter the "Billboard 200", you need to sell tens of thousands of copies.


Since then, there has been a special interest in the Billboard 200, but there are still very few K-pop groups that make it onto this ranking.


It is a very high hurdle for a K-pop group to make it onto the Billboard 200, the American album chart.


America is a country where K-pop is widespread. However, just getting K-pop fans to know a song and dancing to it through flash mobs and random dances does not necessarily lead to sales in the tens of thousands.


It is impossible to achieve this without a certain level of fandom being formed.


TWICE successfully toured America two years ago, with several thousand people in attendance. Although there were some nasty articles written about them, the tour was a success and they achieved some results. Since then, they have appeared on American TV, building up a track record and proving that "persistence is power."


Those who can only see the trees and cannot see the forest will not be able to see or understand how big TWICE's forest has become.


Entering the top 10 of the Billboard 200 is a record that even Girls' Generation and 2NE1 could not achieve. The only other girl group that can boast of such achievements is BlackPink.
They may not have any members with outstanding talent, but although they are not "safe and sound," I believe that they have overcome several crises and have come this far thanks to the extraordinary unity of the nine members (in that sense, Girls' Generation and 2NE1 are examples of groups that have fallen victim to the best of intentions. Actually, there are many others if we start looking at them...).
