BLACKPINK, KiiiKiii and HUNTR/X led the Week 9 Circle Chart.
The Korea Music Content Association announced that during Week 9 (February 22nd–February 28th), BLACKPINK earned a triple crown, KiiiKiii secured two No. 1s, and HUNTR/X topped the Global K-pop Chart.
BLACKPINK swept three categories with their third mini album DEADLINE. The release debuted at No. 1 on the Album Chart with 1,750,692 copies sold and also topped the Retail Album Chart with 349,963 copies. The group additionally ranked No. 1 on Social Chart 3.0 under the artist name “BLACKPINK.” DEADLINE includes five tracks highlighting the group’s signature intensity and range, including the pre-release single “JUMP” and the title track “GO.”
KiiiKiii scored a double crown with “404 (New Era),” which held No. 1 on both the Digital Chart (Circle Index: 17,181,310) and the Streaming Chart for the third straight week. The track is the title song from the group’s second mini album Delulu Pack and reframes “404 Not Found” as a message of freedom rather than absence.
HUNTR/X—along with EJAE, AUDREY NUNA and REI AMI as part of the KPop Demon Hunters cast—continued their run at No. 1 on the Global K-pop Chart with “Golden,” marking its 35th consecutive week on top. The track is featured on the Netflix animated film KPop Demon Hunters.
Elsewhere, IVE topped the Download Chart with “8 (JANG WONYOUNG Solo),” a darker, minimal track driven by Wonyoung’s vocals.
On Social Chart 3.0, KCM recorded the biggest rise of the week.
New songs entering the Global K-pop Chart Top 200 this week include BLACKPINK’s “GO” (No. 7), IVE’s “BLACKHOLE” (No. 14), NCT JNJM’s “BOTH SIDES” (No. 38) and NMIXX’s “TIC TIC (feat. Pabllo Vittar)” (No. 163).
