ILLIT has made a mark with their debut album!
Last week, ILLIT—a new five-member girl group from BELIFT LAB—released their first mini album “SUPER REAL ME” on March 25.
According to Hanteo Chart, “SUPER REAL ME” sold an impressive total of 380,056 copies in the first week of its release (March 25 to 31)—marking the highest first-week sales of any girl group debut album to date.
The previous record belonged to HYBE’s other rookie girl group NewJeans, who sold 311,271 copies of their self-titled debut EP “New Jeans” in the first week of its release back in August 2022.
Not only has “SUPER REAL ME” set a new record for the highest first-week sales of girl group debut albums in Hanteo history, but it has also secured the fifth spot for the highest first-week sales among any debut album.
Furthermore, their title track “Magnetic” entered Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Global chart on the very day of their debut—a first for any K-pop girl group. Additionally, they also set a new record for the fastest entry by a K-pop group into Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs Global and achieved the highest streaming record on the debut day for any K-pop girl group with “Magnetic” on QQ Music, China’s leading music streaming platform.
Congratulations to ILLIT on their successful debut!
