TWICE Makes Billboard 200 History As "Taste Of Love" Debuts In Top 6, Becoming 1st Mini Album By Female K-Pop Act To Enter Top 10

TWICE has just made history on the Billboard 200!

On June 20 local time, Billboard announced that TWICE’s new mini album “Taste of Love” had debuted at No. 6 on its famous Top 200 Albums chart, its weekly ranking of the most popular albums in the United States.

Not only does the achievement mark TWICE’s first time entering the top 10 on the Billboard 200, but “Taste of Love” has now become the first mini album by any female K-pop act in history to reach the top 10 on the chart.

“Taste of Love” is also only the second overall release by a female K-pop act to chart in the top 10, following BLACKPINK‘s first full-length album “THE ALBUM,” which achieved the feat last year.

Billboard also announced that “Taste of Love,” which marks TWICE’s third entry on the Billboard 200 following “MORE & MORE” and “Eyes wide open,” was the top-selling album of the past week.

According to MRC Data (formerly Nielsen Music), “Taste of Love” earned a total of 46,000 equivalent album units during the week ending on June 17. The album’s total score consisted of 43,000 traditional album sales and 3,000 streaming equivalent album (SEA) units—which translates to 5.09 million on-demand audio streams over the course of the week.

Congratulations to TWICE on their historic achievement!
