In a recent chart preview shared by Billboard on their official social media channels on April 8 KST, "Magnetic", the title track from ILLIT's debut mini-album 'SUPER REAL ME', secured the 8th position on the 'Global 200' chart and the 2nd position on the 'Global (excluding the United States)' chart. Remarkably, the song climbed 55 and 31 spots on these charts, respectively, compared to the previous week, marking the highest debut ever for a K-pop group, irrespective of gender.
Billboard reported that "Magnetic" by ILLIT garnered 56.3 million streams and over 3,000 music sales (downloads) within a week, based on the global 200 chart.
The 'Global 200' chart, established by Billboard, reflects the latest trends in the global music market and serves as a significant indicator of global popularity. Unlike the 'Hot 100' chart, which factors in broadcast scores and album sales, the 'Global 200' ranks songs based on streaming and sales data from over 200 countries/regions worldwide, including the United States.
With this achievement, ILLIT is solidifying its position as a prominent entity among the 5th generation K-pop girl groups. Fans eagerly anticipate their future endeavors as they continue to make waves in the K-pop industry following their debut.
Great debut album, deserve it. ILLIT is building its own path with an artistic concept and music different from everyone else. Anyone who compares them to Newjeans doesn't know both ILLIT and Newjeans.
