Welcome back to the Weekly KPOP Charts, this time for the 1st Week of October 2023. Another short intro to get right into the post, as I have some posts to draft and schedule for this week. So I am going to get right to it with the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 1st Week of October 2023.

It has been a busy week this past week. Here is a recap of what I posted:

Throwback Song of the Week
This week’s throwback song is a much more recent release, but as it isn’t part of the Weekly KPOP Chart system anymore, it becomes eligible to be part of this section of the Weekly KPOP Chart posts. The song in question is SHINee’s The Feeling, which coincides with the album review for SHINee’s 8th studio album, HARD (link above).
Non-Korean song of the week
Social Path, the Japanese collaboration between Stray Kids and LiSA, continues its reign as the top Non-Korean song of a third week on its run on the Weekly KPOP Charts. It ranks in the 4th position this week. There are a few more weeks ahead, so let’s see if it can get to a fourth week.
The Charts
