Walter, for "once" let's start off with news on "TWICE"!

TWICE have achieved another major milestone as their new album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 6 in the chart.

According to an article published on Billboard's official website on Sunday, the group's fourth studio album "THIS IS FOR", released on July 11, earned 80,000 equivalent album units, securing the No. 6 spot on the main U.S. album chart.

This marks TWICE's seventh consecutive album to enter the top 10 of the Billboard 200, beginning with their 10th mini album "Taste of Love", which also reached No. 6 in June 2021.

With this latest entry, TWICE have extended their own record for the most top 10 appearances on the Billboard 200 by a K-pop girl group.

The group also kicked off their sixth world tour, "THIS IS FOR", with two shows on July 19 and 20 in Incheon.

BTS's Jungkook has broken yet another record on the global music streaming platform Spotify.

According to the World Music Awards (WMA), Jungkook has become the first Asian solo artist to surpass 100 million streams with each of his original tracks, to which he has 18 in total on Spotify.
