Group ILLIT recorded initial sales of 380,000 copies in the first week of release, setting the record for the highest debut album sales among K-pop girl groups and ranking in the top 5 among all debut albums regardless of gender.
A notable aspect related to ILLIT's record-breaking achievement is the succession within HYBE's 'big three girl groups,' including NewJeans and LE SSERAFIM, seemingly passing the baton to ILLIT.
NewJeans and LE SSERAFIM made their debut in May and August 2022, respectively, each surpassing 300,000 initial sales with their debut albums.
The song leading ILLIT's success, 'Magnetic', stands out with its unforgettable ultimate hook, and its refrain, "Super attraction," is showing signs of becoming a catchphrase.
The track is not only making records domestically but also on global music platforms. It succeeded in entering the Spotify 'Daily Top Songs Global' chart on its debut day, a first for a K-pop girl group, and also set a record for the most streams on the day of debut on China's largest music platform, QQ Music.
