Welcome back to the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 5th Week of August 2023. I had a lot to do today and I had the Weekly KPOP Charts down as one of the final things to do today before bed (which I am all very much craving for). So before I sign off for the night, here is the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 5th Week of August 2023.

Throwback Song of the Week
I have been on a binge of Stray Kids’ SKZ-CODE series this week. So, today I will be picking a song from of their earlier albums to be this week’s Throwback Song. And that song is Astronaut, from their Clé: Levanter mini-album from 2019.
Non-Korean Song of the Week
Each week, I feature the highest ranking non-Korean song by a Korean artist in this part of the Weekly KPOP Charts. For the 5th Week of August 2023, that song is SEVENTEEN’s Sara Sara.
