Group I'LL-IT, who are expanding their presence in the global music market beyond Korea, have maintained their chart positions on the two major main charts of the US and UK for two months, demonstrating solid competitiveness of their music.

'ICONIC BY MISTAKE,' a special collaboration song presented by I'LL-IT alongside LE SSERAFIM and KATSEYE, ranked 88th on the latest US Billboard chart (dated August 15) 'Hot 100.' After first entering the chart at No. 38 on the June 27 chart, the song has now charted for eight consecutive weeks, driving steady consumption from global listeners.

The song is also showing balanced strength on Billboard's detailed charts and the UK charts. 'ICONIC BY MISTAKE' climbed to No. 97 on both Billboard's 'Global 200' and 'Global (Excl. US)' charts, which are compiled based on worldwide music consumption. It also remained on the UK's 'Official Singles Top 100' for eight consecutive weeks, ranking 85th.

The music video continues to perform well. This music video, which emphasizes visual elements, has maintained a high position on the UK's 'Official Video Streaming Chart,' and has captured the attention of global audiences, surpassing 100 million views on YouTube.

'ICONIC BY MISTAKE' is the result of a musical combination of three groups with distinct identities. Its addictive hook and humorous lyrics have garnered positive responses from critics. In fact, the song has received meaningful recognition for its musicality, being named among the '10 Best K-Pop Songs of 2026' selected by music media outlet Rolling Stone India and included in Amazon Music's 'Best K-Pop of the Year' list.

Having established a long-running presence on Billboard's 'Hot 100' and the UK's 'Official Singles Top 100,' which are considered key indicators of the mainstream pop market, I'LL-IT has further solidified the team's scalability and music power on the global stage through this collaboration project.

Meanwhile, I'LL-IT is performing in the middle ranks in the Best Group category of the August Netizens Awards. As of 5:28 p.m. on the 20th, I'LL-IT is in 13th place in the Best Group category with 49 votes.
