LE SSERAFIM added another new record to K-pop girl groups by topping the Melon weekly chart with their English track ‘Perfect Night’.
LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, Hong Eunchae) took first place on the latest (counting period November 20-26) Melon weekly chart with their first English digital single ‘Perfect Night’.
After hitting number one on Melon’s real-time chart, ‘Top 100’, at 11 PM on the 19th, the song maintained the top spot on the daily chart for a week (for the period of November 20-26), and finally swept the weekly chart as well.
With this, ‘Perfect Night’ became the first english song by a K-pop girl group to sweep all the top spots on Melon’s ‘Top 100’, daily, and weekly charts. LE SSERAFIM and BTS are the only K-pop groups to have swept Melon’s three charts with an English song.
This achievement comes amid the charts traditionally showing weakness for English songs, even as major artists made consecutive comebacks. This year, including LE SSERAFIM, only seven artists have reached the top of Melon’s weekly chart.
Furthermore, ‘Perfect Night’ reached number one on Bugs’ latest weekly chart (counting period November 20-26), defending the top spot for three consecutive weeks and showing long-term dominance.
Additionally, the popularity of ‘Perfect Night’ is also recognized in the global music market.
According to the latest chart (as of November 25) released by Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming platform, ‘Perfect Night’ was ranked 84th in ‘Daily Top Songs Global’, the highest-ranking K-pop group listed on the chart that day.
The song surpassed 50 million plays on Spotify as of the 23rd, marking the fastest pace among the songs released by LE SSERAFIM so far.
