Today is Sunday and therefore it is time to look back on the past week via the Weekly KPOP Charts segment. It has been a relatively light week in terms of releases this week. I had plans to write reviews for some releases that I have missed out on. I even tweeted about it. I did make a start but didn’t get too far. Hopefully, I can continue into this week. Don’t worry, I will get to them eventually.
Before we get to the Top 5 and the actual charts, I would like to point out a number of big jumps on the charts this week. I like to draw attention to these as the jump signifies that the song is growing on me or attracting my attention (It may also provide evidence against my erratic listening patterns as well, but let’s not talk about that :)). The biggest jump we saw this week was GreatGuys’ RUN, which leapt a massive 59 positions from one end of the charts to the other end. Jumping 54 spots were Hwasa’s sidetrack, LMM. SF9 (Summer Breeze), Red Velvet – Irene & Seulgi (Monster), BLACKPINK (How You Like That), N.Flying (Oh Really), Moonbyul (Absence), DONGKIZ I:KAN (Y.O.U) and D-CRUNCH (Perriot) also experienced big jumps.
Now with that out of the way, here is this week’s Top 5. Earlier this week, I expressed my amazement for Red Velvet – Irene & Seulgi’s Naughty. And that amazement continued throughout the week, which helped land the song in the top spot this week. Following the subunit this week is last week’s number 1 song, Apple by GFriend. TOO’s Count 1,2, SF9’s Summer Breeze and WOODZ’s Love Me Harder each rose into the Top 5 this week as well. And thus, this ends the Top 5 wrap for this week.
