ILLIT’s Record-Breaking Debut Track ‘Magnetic’ Surpasses 600 Million Streams on Spotify

Just ahead of their next comeback, rising K-Pop girl group ILLIT has made headlines again by reaching a milestone few rookie artists can dream of. According to Spotify on the 25th, ILLIT’s debut track ‘Magnetic’ from their first mini-album ‘SUPER REAL ME’ has surpassed 600 million streams as of June 23rd.

This marks the fastest time ever recorded for a debut song by a K-Pop group to hit such numbers on the global streaming platform. Blending plugg&B and house, ‘Magnetic’ uses the metaphor of a magnet to express charming infatuation — a concept that translated into the track’s witty lyrics and iconic finger choreography, making it go viral worldwide through countless dance challenges.

From the moment of its release in March last year, ‘Magnetic’ took the global music scene by storm. The song topped several major Korean music charts and etched its name in history as the first-ever and fastest debut K-Pop track to enter both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the U.K.’s Official Singles Top 100.

Even a year after its release, the song continues to rank high on domestic charts, proving the group’s staying power and the international appeal of their sound. ‘Magnetic’ also ranked highest among K-Pop songs in year-end global music trend reports, securing ILLIT’s place in the new wave of next-generation idols.

Looking ahead, ILLIT is scheduled to drop their third mini-album, ‘bomb’, on July 16. The group has already teased fans by pre-releasing snippets of songs from the album, including the title track ‘Borrowed Cat’, sparking strong anticipation from fans worldwide.

With their proven global reach and fresh approach to pop music, ILLIT is undoubtedly a group to watch in the global entertainment industry.
