August Comeback Madness: Charts Are Poppin’ Off!
9Yo, August was a total K-pop takeover! From SAY MY NAME’s “iLY” to BoA’s “Crazier,” we got soloists and groups dropping bangers left and right. AB6IX with “UPSIDE DOWN,” IVE’s “IVE SECRET,” and SUNMI’s “BLUE!” – my playlist is screaming. Blackpink’s “JUMP” hit 194M streams on Spotify, snatching Katseye’s “Gnarly” record for fastest group track. Straight-up iconic! TWICE’s “TAKEDOWN” is at 108M streams, going head-to-head with Le Sserafim’s “HOT.”
aespa? Their “Dirty Work” is ruling charts like nobody’s business. Karina and Winter even dropped an apology video for the fans, that’s how hard they’re going! (Insert Karina stage cam clip here, fans will lose it 😍) July was wild too – BTS, NCT DREAM, ATEEZ, and TOMORROW_X_TOGETHER had fandoms in a frenzy. TXT’s “Love Language” at 55M streams? I’m OBSESSED. What track’s got you hooked?
Chart Kings & Queens: Who’s the GOAT in 2025?
Billboard Hot 100 is basically a K-pop flex rn. HUNTR/X’s “Golden” snagged No.1, with “How It’s Done” chilling in the top 10. Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” at No.4? Rookie energy, but make it elite. Soompi charts got Blackpink’s “JUMP” at 1 and aespa’s “Dirty Work” at 2, battling it out.
Spotify Top 50 is a K-pop party. ATEEZ’s “Lemon Drop,” j-hope ft. GloRilla’s “Killin’ It Girl,” ITZY’s “Girls Will Be Girls,” and Stray Kids’ “Hollow” – these tracks make you wanna dance ASAP. Billboard’s Top 25 K-pop songs got SEVENTEEN, ZEROBASEONE, MEOVV, IVE, SHINee, and DAY6 killing it. Solo vibes? LISA and ROSÉ MVs are racking up views, and Jackson Wang’s got global stans in a chokehold.
KBS charts? EVNNE’s “How Can I Do,” KiiiKiii’s “DANCING ALONE,” and Blackpink’s “JUMP” are dominating. Rookies like Rescene with “Deja Vu” and “Glow Up,” plus UNIS’s “Swicy,” are fan faves.
Fandom Faves: What’s Poppin’ on X?
X is where the real tea’s at. Fans are hyping GFRIEND’s “Season of Memories,” STAYC’s “I Want It,” H2H’s “Style,” and VIVIZ’s “La La Love Me” – these are playlist staples. NMIXX’s “Know About Me,” TXT’s “Beautiful Strangers,” Yves’ “White Cat,” and ILLIT’s “Do the Dance” are straight fire. CYE’s “Snowy Summer” and TWS’s “Countdown” are blowing up too.
Katseye’s GAP campaign stirred some drama – MAGA folks called it “woke,” but stans clapped back and took over X timelines. BTS Jimin’s surprise video had fans crying, and ASTRO’s Sanha solo concert announcement? Fandom meltdown. These little moments are what make K-pop chef’s kiss. (Insert Jimin video screenshot here, stans will scream!)
