No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and a first No. 1 on Top Album Sales: two milestones for ILLIT.

Two US chart firsts for ILLIT

ILLIT has its first Billboard 200 top 10. The group’s fifth mini album, BREAK EVEN, debuts at No. 6 on the chart dated November 14, 2026. Billboard announced the result in its November 8 US preview, marking the group’s highest position yet.

The album also opens at No. 1 on Top Album Sales, another first for ILLIT. That chart measures album purchases, while the Billboard 200 combines sales with streaming and individual-track equivalents. The different positions reflect the two charts’ different measures of consumption.

What the 37,000 units represent

According to Luminate figures cited by Billboard, BREAK EVEN earned 37,000 equivalent album units in the US in the tracking week ending November 5. The total includes 32,500 traditional album sales and 4,500 streaming equivalent album units, or SEA, representing approximately 4.87 million on-demand official streams.

Traditional sales account for approximately 88% of the reported units, calculated by comparing 32,500 sales with 37,000 total units. Billboard identifies both the group’s best US week by units and its best sales week. These figures concern the tracked US period, rather than worldwide album sales.

A new peak with the fifth chart entry

BREAK EVEN is ILLIT’s fifth Billboard 200 entry. SUPER REAL ME peaked at No. 93, I’LL LIKE YOU at No. 94, bomb at No. 171 and MAMIHLAPINATAPAI at No. 26. The new debut improves that previous career peak by 20 places, comparing different albums’ peaks rather than a weekly climb.

BELIFT LAB’s official page lists four tracks: “Super in Love,” “More,” “You’re Under Arrest” and “Pop.” The agency describes an emotional story about an unequal relationship and reclaiming control of one’s feelings. This is the project delivering ILLIT’s first Billboard 200 top 10 and first Top Album Sales leader.
