Group ILLIT has added their sixth 200 million-stream track in the group’s history.
According to Spotify on the 10th, the title track ‘Do the Dance’ from ILLIT’s (Yuna, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, Iroha) 3rd mini-album ‘bomb’ surpassed 200,30,4860 cumulative streams as of the 8th.
This marks the team’s sixth song to cross the 200 million streaming mark. ‘Do the Dance’ is a French house-genre track featuring a romantic string theme, capturing the excitement and freshness of a first date.
The unique title compares the blank, dazed state caused by a mistake on a first date to the idiom ‘like a borrowed cat,’ drawing attention upon release for its delicate, agile cat-like choreography and original lyrics like ‘ggungsil nyaong’ and ‘doomchit nyaong.’
With this achievement, ILLIT has now placed a total of nine songs in the 100-million streaming club. Their debut song ‘Magnetic’ became the fastest debut song by a K-pop group to surpass 900 million streams in approximately 2 years and 7 months.
Alongside ‘Do the Dance,’ tracks such as ‘Lucky Girl Syndrome,’ ‘Cherish (My Love),’ ‘Tick-Tack,’ ‘NOT CUTE ANYMORE,’ and their special collaboration single with LE SSERAFIM and KATSEYE titled ‘ICONIC BY MISTAKE’ have each exceeded 200 million streams, while ‘Midnight Fiction’ and ‘jellyous’ have both surpassed 100 million streams. The cumulative streaming count across all songs released by the group on Spotify now exceeds 3.4 billion.
ILLIT continues to achieve stellar global results with their 5th mini-album ‘BREAK EVEN,’ released last month. The new release entered the US Billboard main album chart ‘Billboard 200’ at No. 6 for the week of November 14, demonstrating their distinct presence in the world’s largest pop market. Meanwhile, the title track ‘Arrest Me’ is sweeping top positions on major domestic weekly music charts, including Melon, Bugs, and Genie Music, for the tracking period of November 2 to 8.
