Girl group Twice [JYP ENTERTAINMENT] Girl group Twice’s new album “Ready To Be” landed in second place on the Billboard 200 albums chart for the week of March 25, the U.S. music service said Sunday. The Billboard 200 ranks the most popular albums of the week in the United States, measured by equivalent album units comprised of physical album sales and other digital sales records. The group's album earned 153,000 equivalent album units since its release on March 10, according to Billboard. The record is an all-time high record for any K-pop girl group, and a significant increase from the girl group’s last album, “Between 1&2” (2022), which earned around 100,000 equivalent album units on the first week in the United States, said JYP Entertainment on Monday. "Ready To Be" is the girl group's 12th EP, released on March 10, with the lead track "Set Me Free." The album sold over 650,000 copies in the first week of its release, making it the seventh most-sold girl group album in the first week of its release. The girl group will kickstart its fifth world tour “Ready To Be” at the KSPO Dome in Songpa District, southern Seoul on April 15 and 16, followed by stadium concerts in Tokyo and Osaka, a first for a K-pop girl group. Twice will also be performing at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, adding to a total of 17 performances in 14 cities around North America, Japan and Australia.
