ILLIT takes first place on Korea's Circle Chart's global K-POP charts for the first half of the year! Proving their status as the "5th generation K-POP music powerhouse"

■ILLIT is the first K-POP group to have their debut song ranked on the Billboard main song chart “Hot 100”

ILLIT has proven that they are the “5th generation K-POP music powerhouse” in both name and reality.

According to the first half of the Korean Circle Chart rankings released on July 12, ILLIT’s title song “Magnetic” from their first mini album “SUPER REAL ME” topped the global K-POP charts.

In addition, “Magnetic” also ranked 7th in both the digital and streaming categories, making it into the Top 10.

“Magnetic,” released on March 25, topped the Circle Chart in three categories (Global K-POP, Digital, and Streaming) in April.

In particular, the song topped the global K-POP monthly charts for two consecutive months in April and May, proving its worldwide popularity. The song also swept the top spots on all major Korean music charts, achieving a so-called “perfect all-kill.”

ILLIT’s music is popular not only in Korea but also around the world.

They are the first K-pop group to have their debut song ranked on Billboard’s main song chart, the Hot 100, and they are also the first K-pop artist to rank in the UK’s Official Top 100 in the shortest time possible, making new history for K-pop on the world’s two major music charts, the US Billboard and the UK’s official charts.

“Magnetic” is also making waves on Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming platform. The song surpassed 300 million streams on Spotify in just three months since its release, setting a new record as the fastest debut song by a K-pop girl group.

ILLIT has gained sympathy from their peers by showing the true face of “today’s teenagers.” “Magnetic” is a song that expresses the frankness of a teenage girl who is straightforward about the person she likes, and the unpredictable melody and addictive choreography have caused a short-form viral hit.

They are also recording great results in Japan, where “Magnetic” surpassed 100 million cumulative plays in the “Oricon Weekly Streaming Ranking” (as of June 17, 2024).

The achievement in the 11th week since its release makes it the fastest ever for a female group to reach 100 million views.

It also achieved 100 million cumulative plays on the Billboard JAPAN chart’s “Streaming Song Chart,” tying for third place in the history of Billboard Japan’s K-POP charts. In the LINE MUSIC rankings for the first half of 2024, it ranked 8th in the “Teen Trend Ranking” and 6th in the “BGM Ranking.”

ILLIT will also be appearing at the 2024 TMEA 5th Tencent Music Entertainment Awards to be held at Macau Galaxy Arena on the 19th, where they will meet their Chinese fans for the first time. As ILLIT’s global popularity continues to grow, more and more attention is being paid to them.
