Illit sets streams record in Japan with debut single

Illit garnered 300 million streams in Japan with its debut song “Magnetic,” according to Oricon on Wednesday. The group reached the milestone on Sunday, 101 weeks after the single entered Oricon’s Weekly Streaming Ranking. The chart said it was the shortest time for an international female artist. “Magnetic” was released in March 2024 as the lead single from the group's first EP, “Super Real Me.” It exceeded 100 million plays on Oricon’s weekly tally in the shortest time for a female group ever.
