TWICE's new mini album Taste of Love topped the three separate Billboard charts: Top Album Sales chart, Top Current Album Sales chart, and World Albums chart this week.

This is the first time, not just in K-pop, but from any country, a girl group topped the Billboard's Top Album Sales chart with an EP (mini album). The other five girl groups that topped the chart with any album were Destiny's Child, TLC, Spice Girls, Danity Kane, and BLACKPINK.

This week, TWICE also became the first female K-pop group in history to enter the top 10 of the Billboard 200 with an EP.

Meanwhile, TWICE's new song "Alcohol-Free" debuted No. 3 on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart and at No. 41 on Billboard's Global 200 chart. Also, the K-pop girl group achieved their highest rank to date on the Billboard's Artist 100 at No. 9.
