[Edaily Reporter KIM HYUNSIK ] Girl group ILLIT’s new album has entered the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, the main U.S. Billboard album chart.

According to a chart preview article posted on Billboard’s official website on the 8th (local time), ILLIT’s fifth mini-album “BREAK EVEN” debuted at No. 6 on the latest Billboard 200 chart (dated November 14).
This marks Ailette’s highest-ever ranking on the Billboard 200 since their debut in March 2024. Their previous highest ranking was No. 26, achieved with their fourth mini-album, “MAMIHLAPINATAPAI.”
The Billboard 200 is a chart that ranks the most popular albums in the United States over a single week. Rankings are determined by album unit scores, which combine physical album sales, digital album sales, streaming equivalents (SEA)—a metric that converts streaming counts into album sales—and digital track equivalents (TEA)—a metric that converts digital track downloads into album sales.
“Break Even” is the album released by Ailette on the 26th of last month. It features four tracks, including the title track “I’ll Arrest You.”
The album recorded 37,000 album units in its first week of release. Of this total, physical album sales accounted for 32,500 copies. Streaming Equivalent Albums (SEA) were tallied at 4,500, reflecting approximately 4.87 million streams of the album’s tracks in the U.S.
Olivia Rodrigo’s “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love” took the No. 1 spot on the latest Billboard 200 chart. Following that, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem,” Ella Langley’s “Dandelion,” and Noah Kahan’s “The Great Divide” ranked 2nd through 5th, respectively.
