November’s Circle Chart delivered major wins across K-pop, with Hwasa, Stray Kids, NMIXX, and HUNTR/X each taking top honors in multiple categories.
The Korea Music Content Association announced that HUNTR/X topped the Global K-pop Chart, NMIXX and Stray Kids each scored two crowns, and Hwasa swept four categories.
HUNTR/X, joined by EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, REI AMI, and the KPop Demon Hunters cast, continued their five-month reign at No. 1 on the Global K-pop Chart with “Golden.” The Netflix OST has sparked a worldwide cover trend since release, solidifying its global grip.
NMIXX earned a double crown as “Blue Valentine” hit No. 1 on both the Digital Chart (Circle Index: 64,637,895) and the Streaming Chart. The track headlines their first full album and explores the spark that reignites after emotions collide.
Stray Kids also claimed two major wins: their new album DO IT topped the Album Chart with 2,240,000 copies sold, while the Retail Album Chart logged 610,289 copies purchased. The album launches the “SKZ IT TAPE” series, spotlighting the fiery sound the group wants to show.
Hwasa surged back to the top following her Blue Dragon Film Awards stage. “Good Goodbye” swept four charts—BGM, V Caller Ring, Ringtone, and Dial Tone—as her emotional farewell ballad connected deeply with listeners.
NCT DREAM took No. 1 on the Download Chart with “Beat It Up,” the title track of their sixth mini-album, packed with the group’s signature confidence and energy.
On Social Chart 3.0, TWICE kept their No. 1 position for a second month, while DAY6 (Even of Day) saw the biggest jump.
For Week 49 (November 30th–Decebmer 6th), “Golden” again held No. 1 on the Global K-pop Chart, and Hwasa expanded her momentum with a six-category sweep. VERIVERY took No. 1 on the Album Chart with Lost and Found, and Stray Kids topped the Retail Album Chart once more with DO IT.
