XG
The group XG has managed to enter the Billboard 200 chart.
On December 17 (local time), XG’s (Jurin, Chisa, Cocona, Hinata, Maya, Juria, and Harvey) new mini album “AWE” ranked 175th on the Billboard 200, the main chart. This is significant as XG, who has achieved remarkable results in North America, has entered the main Billboard chart for the first time since their debut.
In addition, XG has proven their high interest in the region by proudly ranking at the top of the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart for newcomers who have never ranked in the Top 100 among artists listed on the Billboard 200.
XG’s “AWE” has also stood out on various overseas charts. The group ranked third on the Oricon Weekly Album Chart and Billboard’s HOT ALBUM, and has managed to enter charts including iTunes and Apple Music. In addition, the music video for the title track “Howling” was also the first Japanese female artist to chart on the US Billboard Rap Digital Sales chart.
“AWE” fulfills the album’s message that it will not give up and will advance to the top, surpassing its own initial sales in Korea. Expectations were high for XG to continue its growth, having entered Billboard’s main chart.
XG, which is holding the world tour “The First HOWL,” has so far toured Asia, North America, and Europe, attracting a total of 200,000 spectators. As they are the only girl group to appear at “Coachella” in April 2025, an explosive response is expected.
