Ahead of their comeback next month, group Ailitt has added a significant record to Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming platform.

According to Spotify on the 25th, the title song ‘Magnetic’ from Illit’s first mini album ‘SUPER REAL ME’ has been streamed a total of 650,5284 times as of the 23rd.This is the shortest period of time among the debut songs of a K -pop group that have reached the same number of streams on Spotify.

‘Magnetic’ is a dance genre that mixes fluctuating and house, and is a song that compares the feelings toward a person you like to a magnet.It was loved for its witty lyrics of ‘super attraction’ and the point choreography using fingers, and created a challenge craze around the world.

This song took the global market by storm as soon as it was released in March of last year.’Magnetic’ not only swept the top of major domestic music charts, but also became the first and fastest K -pop debut song to enter the US Billboard’s main song chart ‘Hot 100’ and the UK’s Official ‘Singles Top 100’.In addition, this song showed its long-running popularity and its ability to be ranked the highest among K -pop songs on various global annual indices last year.Even now, a year after its release, ‘Magnetic’ is still loved as a fixed position on major domestic music charts.

Meanwhile, Ailitt will be releasing their 3rd mini album ‘bomb’ on the 16th of next month.They have caught the attention of global fans by releasing part of the entire album, including the title song ‘Borrowed Cat’, early on.
