K-pop girl group ILLIT has earned its first No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart with the EP BREAK EVEN.

The four-song release debuts atop the chart dated November 14, 2026, after selling approximately 32,000 copies in the U.S. during the tracking week ending November 5, according to Billboard’s latest chart figures.

The achievement marks ILLIT’s biggest U.S. album sales week to date and its fifth consecutive top 10 entry on the chart.

Physical editions played a major role in the release’s performance. BREAK EVEN was available in more than 24 CD versions, many featuring collectible extras such as photocards, posters, and stickers.

The latest rankings also feature several established acts. Queens of the Stone Age debuts at No. 2, while Michael Jackson’s Thriller rises to No. 3. Nickelback enters at No. 5, followed by fellow K-pop group IVE at No. 6.

The No. 1 debut adds to ILLIT’s growing presence on the U.S. album charts, where the group has now placed five consecutive releases in the top 10.
