  1. " Talk That Talk "
    Released: August 26, 2022

Between 1&2 (stylized as BETW9EN 1&2 ) is the eleventh extended play (EP) by South Korean girl group Twice . It was released on August 26, 2022, by JYP Entertainment and Republic Records and consists of seven tracks, including the lead single " Talk That Talk ", which reached the top 20 of the Circle Digital Chart and the Billboard Global 200 .

The album was a commercial success, exceeding 1 million pre-orders, [1] making Twice the third female K-pop group to do so at the time after Blackpink and Aespa . In South Korea, the album debuted at number two on the Circle Chart with over 1 million physical copies sold. In the United States, it debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 with 100,000 equivalent album units sold and became the sixth best-selling album of 2022 in CD album sales. [2] The album also reached the top ten in Japan, Finland, Poland, Sweden, and Uruguay.

Background [ edit ]

Between 1&2 followed Celebrate , Twice's fourth Japanese studio album, [3] [4] and served as the group's first Korean release in 2022. [5] On May 16, after concluding their second worldwide concert tour in Los Angeles, a cryptic post featuring the dates "2022.06.24" and "2022.08.26" [a] circulated Twice's social media accounts, leading to fan speculation. [6] June 24 was later revealed as the release date for Nayeon 's solo debut EP, Im Nayeon . [7]

On July 2, while hosting an episode of MBC 's Show! Music Core , Twice member Dahyun announced that Twice would be making a comeback, stating that "it is planned, so please look forward to it". [8] On July 12, all members of Twice renewed their contracts with JYP Entertainment . [9] One day later, the label announced a "mini album" titled Between 1&2 with a planned release date of August 26. [10]

Composition [ edit ]

Members Chaeyoung , Dahyun , and Jihyo wrote lyrics of some songs on Between 1&2 , with the latter also being credited as a composer on the song "Trouble". [4] [11] The EP's second track, "Queen of Hearts", an English song, features a drum beat and guitar sound mixed with Twice's "cool" vocals in harmony. "Brave" was described as a dance-pop track centered on the group's fandom, called Once, which "gives Twice the courage to become themselves". Lyrically, the song expresses "the sincerity of Twice members". [12]

Title [ edit ]

Similar to Formula of Love: O+T=<3 , the EP's title, Between 1&2 , represents the connection of Twice with their fandom, Once. [13]

Release and promotion [ edit ]

A promotional poster with the phrase "Tell Me What You Want" written above a light switch was posted onto Twice's social media accounts on July 13, 2022. [14] On July 26, the tracklist of Between 1&2 was released. [15] On August 5, JYP Entertainment released a timetable for the EP. [16] On August 9, Twice released an opening trailer for the EP and a snippet of lead single "Talk That Talk". [17] [18] [19] On August 17 and 18, individual teasers and group photos demonstrating the concept of the album were posted on Twice's official social media accounts. [20] [21] On August 19, the group released snippets of the second track, "Queen of Hearts", and fifth track, "Brave". [12] On August 23, the group released a sneak peek to the album. [22] On August 24 and 25, the group released two teasers for the music video of "Talk That Talk". [23]

Writing for NME , Tanu I. Raj noted that while Between 1&2 looks back on Twice's "growth with fondness and pride, and leave[s] us with the promise of better things to come", it suffers from some "road bumps". [25]

Commercial performance [ edit ]

In South Korea the mini album took third place, with over 519,000 units sold, on the Hanteo Monthly Chart, setting a new personal record for the group. This broke the group's previous sales for More & More on the chart. [26] [27] [28] [29] It debuted at number 2 on South Korea's Circle Album Chart with 995,614 units sold in two pre-sale days. [30] In Japan, it debuted at number 4 on Oricon 's Digital Albums Chart [31] and at number 10 on Billboard Japan ' s Hot Albums chart. [32] On the US Billboard 200 , the EP peaked at number 3, selling over 100,000 equivalent album units . Of these, 94,000 were pure sales , 6,000 were streaming-equivalent units, and a negligible number were track-equivalent units. It is their fifth and best selling album on the chart after Formula of Love: O+T=<3 . [33]
