[OSENWORLD] TWICE has once again proven their global dominance, landing at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 with their fourth full-length album THIS IS FOR, released on July 11.
According to Billboard’s official website on July 22 (U.S. local time), TWICE charted in 12 different categories for the week of July 26, led by their main entry on the Billboard 200. With this achievement, the K-pop powerhouse has secured seven consecutive Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200—setting a new record for the most Top 10 albums by any K-pop girl group.
The streak began with Taste of Love (No. 6, 2021), followed by Formula of Love: O+T=<3 (No. 3), BETWEEN 1&2 (No. 3), READY TO BE (No. 2), With YOU-th (No. 1), and STRATEGY (No. 4). Their latest success with THIS IS FOR reaffirms their status as one of the most globally successful girl groups in K-pop history.
In addition to their Billboard 200 milestone, TWICE ranked No. 7 on the Artist 100, No. 3 on both Top Album Sales and Top Current Album Sales, and No. 4 on Vinyl Albums. They also scored high on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, continuing their worldwide popularity.
TWICE’s chart impact goes beyond THIS IS FOR. The soundtrack album for Netflix’s animated film KPop Demon Hunters—which features the track TAKEDOWN (JEONGYEON, JIHYO, CHAEYOUNG) and the group’s song Strategy from their 14th mini-album—debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, Strategy (feat. Megan Thee Stallion) continues to chart for its 9th and 11th consecutive weeks on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S., respectively.
TWICE recently kicked off their sixth world tour with back-to-back shows on July 19–20 at Inspire Arena in Incheon. The tour will continue through Osaka (July 26–27), Aichi (August 23–24), Fukuoka (August 30–31), Tokyo (September 16–17), Macau (September 27–28), Bulacan (October 4), Singapore (October 11–12), Sydney (November 1–2), Melbourne (November 8–9), Kaohsiung (November 22), Hong Kong (December 6), and Bangkok (December 13–14), wrapping up in mid-December.
