ILLIT’s ‘It’s Me’ Climbs Billboard Charts

Rookie girl group ILLIT is showing impressive staying power on the global music scene as its latest title track “It’s Me” continues to rise on major Billboard charts weeks after release.

According to Billboard’s latest chart update dated June 6, ILLIT’s “It’s Me,” the title track from the group’s fourth mini album MAMIHLAPINATAPAI, ranked No. 35 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 78 on the Global 200 chart. The song climbed 12 places and 17 places respectively compared to the previous week, highlighting its growing international popularity.

The group’s latest album is also maintaining strong performance across multiple Billboard rankings. MAMIHLAPINATAPAI placed No. 6 on the World Albums chart, No. 15 on the Top Dance Albums chart, and No. 24 on the Top Album Sales chart, extending its presence on Billboard for a fourth consecutive week.

Global Momentum Continues

Despite being released more than a month ago, “It’s Me” continues to generate strong streaming and chart activity. The song remains near the top of major Korean music platforms, ranking No. 2 on Genie, No. 3 on Melon, and No. 4 on Bugs according to the latest daily charts. It has also spent 29 consecutive days on Apple Music’s Global Top 100 chart.

ILLIT released It’s Me on April 30, sparking renewed interest in techno‑influenced K‑pop sounds and further strengthening the group’s position among the industry’s fastest‑rising girl groups. The track’s energetic production and catchy hook have resonated with listeners both in Korea and overseas.

The group is set to continue its busy schedule this summer. ILLIT will perform at the 2026 Weverse Con Festival on June 6 at KSPO DOME and the 88 Lawn Field in Seoul’s Olympic Park. The members will then embark on their first Japanese tour, ILLIT LIVE ‘PRESS START♥’ in JAPAN, which will include 11 concerts across five cities throughout June and July.
