  "account": "ILLIT achieved its first No. 1 spot on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart with its new EP BREAK EVEN. The four-song project sold 32,000 copies in the United States during the week ending November 5, marking the group's largest sales week to date. BREAK EVEN marks the band's fifth consecutive top 10 entry on the Top Album Sales chart. The album's sales were largely driven by its availability across more than 24 CD variants, each containing collectible items such as photocards, stickers, and posters. Other notable entries in the latest Top Album Sales chart include Queens of the Stone Age at No. 2, Michael Jackson's Thriller at No. 3, Nickelback at No. 5, IVE at No. 6, blink-182 at No. 8, Mariah Carey's Glitter at No. 9, and $uicideboy's Stop Staring at the Shadows at No. 10.",
