ILLIT has claimed the top spot on Circle Chart's latest weekly rankings, providing a positive boost as the group prepares for their April 30 comeback with "It's Me."

The rookie group's recent chart success comes just days after they announced their return date during their "PRESS START♥︎" concert in Seoul on March 15, despite facing ongoing plagiarism allegations from fans.

According to Circle Chart's latest monthly and weekly rankings released March 17, ILLIT dominated the weekly charts alongside other major acts. The monthly February album chart saw BLACKPINK's new mini album "DEADLINE" take the number one position, while IVE's "REVIVE+" secured second place. ATEEZ rounded out the top positions by claiming the next two spots on the monthly rankings.

ILLIT's strong chart performance demonstrates their continued commercial appeal despite the recent choreography controversy. Fans had accused the group of plagiarizing choreography elements, creating tension within the K-pop community just as the group was building momentum from their successful debut year.

The timing of these positive chart results provides ILLIT with valuable momentum heading into their comeback campaign. With "It's Me" set to drop on April 30 at 6 p.m. KST, the group appears to be maintaining their fanbase's support despite the recent criticism.

The Circle Chart success also positions ILLIT among established acts like BLACKPINK, IVE, and ATEEZ, highlighting their rapid rise in the competitive K-pop landscape. Their ability to maintain chart relevance while navigating controversy suggests resilience that could serve them well during their upcoming promotional cycle.

As April 30 approaches, fans will be watching to see if ILLIT can channel this chart success into another strong comeback, potentially putting the recent plagiarism allegations behind them through their musical performance.
