Illit's 'Magnetic' becomes fastest debut song by K-pop group to reach 900 mln streams

Illit's debut song "Magnetic" has achieved a remarkable feat, becoming the fastest K-pop group debut song to reach 900 million streams on Spotify. The dance track, which blends Pluggnb and house genres, surpassed the milestone on Sunday, just two years and seven months after its release in March 2024. This achievement is particularly noteworthy as it is the shortest time taken among K-pop groups' debut songs to reach the same number of streams on Spotify, as reported by Belift Lab.

The song's popularity soared following its release, securing top positions on local music charts and even making its way to the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 main singles chart and the British Official Singles Chart Top 100.
