Girl group ILLIT has successfully entered the top 10 of Billboard's main album chart.

According to a chart preview article posted on Billboard's official website on the 8th (local time), ILLIT's fifth mini-album, 'BREAK EVEN,' debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart for the week of November 14, 2026.

With this, ILLIT surpassed its previous personal best ranking of No. 26, set with their fourth mini-album 'MAMIHLAPINATAPAI,' by 20 spots to set a new record. Additionally, ILLIT claimed the top spot on the Billboard Top Album Sales chart for the first time since their debut.

The U.S. first-week sales of 'BREAK EVEN' reached 37,000 album units, setting an all-time high weekly record. Among these, pure album sales amounted to 32,500 copies. Streaming Equivalent Albums (SEA) stood at 4,500 units, corresponding to approximately 4.87 million streams of the album's tracks in the United States.

ILLIT is one of only seven K-pop girl groups to have placed an album within the top 10 of the Billboard 200. ILLIT has charted all five albums they have released so far on the Billboard 200.

ILLIT has also left a significant mark on global song charts, building anticipation. Their debut track 'Magnetic' became the first K-pop debut single to enter both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Official Singles Top 100 charts in the shortest time. The title track of their first single album, 'NOT CUTE ANYMORE,' reached No. 7 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100. The special collaboration single 'ICONIC BY MISTAKE,' released with LE SSERAFIM and NewJeans, ranked at No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Their strength can be seen in global streaming metrics. As of November 9, ILLIT's monthly listeners on Spotify surpassed 20 million, placing them among the top tier of K-pop artists in scale. This metric counts the number of unique users who listened to ILLIT's music over the past 28 days without duplication, providing a gauge of how broad their actual listener base is. The title track of their new album, 'Chepo Hageseo' (I Will Arrest You), also entered Spotify's 'Daily Top Song Global' chart from its first day of release.
