Week 48 of the 2025 Circle Chart saw major wins from HUNTR/X, Hwasa, Stray Kids, and RIIZE, each taking the top spot on different charts.
The Korea Music Content Association announced that for Week 48 (November 23rd–29th), HUNTR/X topped the Global K-Pop Chart, Hwasa earned six No. 1 titles, Stray Kids scored two chart wins, and RIIZE took No. 1 on the album chart.
HUNTR/X, EJAE, Audrey Nuna, Rei Ami, and the KPop Demon Hunters cast continued their record streak with “Golden,” extending its run at No. 1 on the Global K-Pop Chart to 22 consecutive weeks. As the OST for Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters, the track became a worldwide trend upon release, sparking a flood of artist covers.
Hwasa continued her huge resurgence following her performance at the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards, sending “Good Goodbye” back up the charts. The song hit No. 1 on the Digital Chart (Circle Index 25,557,682), Streaming, BGM, V Caller Ring, Ringtone, and Dial Tone charts, making her a six-time chart topper this week. “Good Goodbye” is an emotional track wishing a heartfelt farewell to a once-deep love.
Stray Kids also delivered a strong showing. Their album DO IT topped the Retail Album Chart (227,470 copies) for a second consecutive week, while the album’s title track “Do It” hit No. 1 on the Download Chart, earning the group two wins. DO IT serves as the opening chapter of their new project “SKZ IT TAPE,” showcasing the fiery, unmistakable mood Stray Kids want to express through music.
RIIZE claimed the No. 1 spot on the Album Chart with Fame (412,524 copies). Fame—the group’s second single—channels the anxiety, emptiness, and intensity the members confront amid success, transforming it into their signature “emotional pop” sound.
On the Social Chart 3.0, where global K-pop influence is most visible, TWICE held onto No. 1 for the eighth straight week. The biggest climber this week was RIIZE, further proving their upward momentum.
New entries within the Top 200 of the Global K-Pop Chart include: ILLIT – “NOT CUTE ANYMORE” (No. 11) and RIIZE – “Fame” (No. 44).
