TWICE Reaches Career High On Billboard 200 With “READY TO BE”

The K-pop Queens are back to reign in the industry!

Asia’s top girl group TWICE marked their 2023 comeback with a much-deserved career-high record on Billboard.

According to Billboard’s announcement on its official SNS channel on March 20, TWICE’s new mini-album READY TO BE (released on March 10) ranked second on the Billboard 200 chart.

In particular, the total sales of albums and streaming reached 153,000 copies, and the group once again hit a global career high. This is the highest figure ever for a K-pop girl group, and compared to the 100,000 copies of the previous and 11th mini album BETWEEN 1&2, it recorded a significant increase. They have reaffirmed their unstoppable worldwide popularity and solid presence.

The nonet’s latest album set a new record by exceeding 1.7 million pre-orders as of March 7. In addition, it topped the album aggregation site Hanteo Chart’s Album Weekly Chart (from March 6 to 12) and Circle Chart’s 2023 10th Week Retail Album Weekly Chart (from March 5 to 11). On top of these, it ranked second on the Top Album Debut Global and USA charts (from March 10 to 12) and the Top Album Debut UK chart (March 6 to 10) as announced by Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming platform.

Meanwhile, TWICE will launch their fifth largest world tour READY TO BE this coming April. Starting in Seoul, the nonet will perform at the KSPO DOME on April 15 and 16. They will hold a total of 17 concerts in 14 cities in Australia, Japan, and North America.
