TWICE has hit a major milestone by scoring their first-ever Number One album on the Billboard 200 chart with "With YOU-th." The album racked up an impressive 95,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. for the week ending Feb. 29, according to Luminate. This achievement marks their fifth consecutive Top 10 album, cementing their status as K-pop sensations.
The majority of the album's units, a whopping 90,000, came from traditional album sales. "With YOU-th" not only topped the charts but also boasted the largest sales week for an album so far in the year. The sales were further boosted by the release of 14 variants and exclusives on their website and in stores like Barnes & Noble, Target, and Walmart. Additionally, the album was offered in three different vinyl variants, adding to its appeal.
Prior to the album's release, the nine-member group, including Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu, shared insights with Rolling Stone about their 13th mini-album. Nayeon highlighted that the album "focuses on how we're spending our youth with you," setting the tone for the project.
Jihyo elaborated on the album's theme, stating, "The vibe might be there, but I think the message is a little bit different. Around ‘Feel Special,' we were going through some hard times, and that track, in particular, was more about how we were able to persevere through all of that. I think this album focuses on our current state of how happy we are in the moment, after everything we've been through. I think it also shows our growth and improvement over time."
Amidst their soaring success, TWICE is currently embarking on their fifth world tour, Ready to Be. Fans can catch them live at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on March 16, promising an unforgettable experience for TWICE enthusiasts everywhere.
