Hybe’s fourth-generation K-Pop girls group LE SSERAFIM has solidified its position as the leader of Soompi’s Weekly Music Chart by topping the charts for the third consecutive week with its latest title track, ANTIFRAGILE.
This achievement adds another feather to the hat of LE SSERAFIM, one of the fastest novice K-Pop groups, which has become an international sensation with ANTIFRAGILE and their debut album FEARLESS.
The Soompi Music Chart represents the latest trend in K-Pop in Korea and other countries across the world. This novel music chart is made by taking into account and analyzing the song rankings of major music charts in Korea and the most popular trending artists on Soompi.
The primary charts that are amalgamated and analyzed for Soompi’s weekly music charts are Circles rankings for singles and albums, Hanteo’s rankings, Spotify weekly charts, Soompi airplay, and YouTube K-pop MVs and songs.
LE SSERAFIM’s ANTIFRAGILE features on Soompi Weekly Music Charts for the sixth time
LE SSERAFIM has been dominating the weekly music charts since the start of November. While in the initial weeks of November, the band ranked second on the list of most hit K-Pop songs of the week, it soon rose to the top, surpassing (G)-IDLE’s NXDE, which ranked one for two consecutive weeks.
The latest weekly music chart for the first week of December marks the sixth time the group has featured on the music charts.
