The Story Begins
. The album made it to No. 3 on the Gaon Album Chart, No. 15 on the
Billboard
World Albums Chart and No. 43 in Japan. Like Ooh-Ahh, the title track from this album, accumulated over 50 million YouTube views within five months. It eventually reached 100 million views, making Twice the first K-pop group to generate 100 million YouTube views with a debut music video. Twice also became the fourth K-pop girl group to achieve 100 million music video views on YouTube with this song. Cheer Up, released in 2016, was the best performing single on Gaon's digital chart that year. The song won Song of the Year at Melon Music Awards and MAMA, two major awards shows in South Korea. TT, another cute, catchy song, was massively popular. It stayed on the top of the Gaon Digital Chart for four weeks. TT stands for the crying emoji.
Twicecoaster: Lane 1
was the highest selling K-pop girl group album in 2016. Twice is the first K-pop girl group to achieve RIAJ (Recording Industry Association of Japan) platinum certification for both an album and a CD single in the same year.

In 2019, they started to include more locations in their tours, such as the United States, Mexico, Malaysia and the Philippines. Their current world tour Twicelights started on May 25, 2019 and will finish on February 22, 2020. #Dreamday, the Japan tour they had in March and April 2019, had an attendance of 220,000.'
'You can expect to see the members carry out choreography to their songs while singing live. Although many people associate Twice with bubblegum pop and bright concepts, they pull off performances of some of their pop rock songs at their concerts too. You may also hear fanchants to the title tracks. You can look up what the fanchants are before the concert to join in. Onces, the fandom name for Twice, bring their official lightsticks to concerts too. Twice's official lightstick has a lollipop design.'
'Twice concerts are two-and-a-half to three hours long.'

Twice has nine members: Mina, Momo, Nayeon, Jihyo, Tzuyu, Jeongyeon, Sana, Chaeyoung and Dahyun. When
Sixteen
aired, there were supposed to be seven members chosen. However, JYP Entertainment added two contestants - Momo and Tzuyu - to the final formation because he thought they would complete the group he envisioned. Momo was chosen for her performance skills, and Tzuyu was picked because she had been the most popular contestant during the show.
