Welcome to the next Weekly KPOP Chart post for Week 3 of January 2026, which spans from 18 to 24 January 2026.
ICYMI – Rookie Fortnight, a fortnight focused on rookies who made their debut in 2025 that I didn’t get a chance to review, will continue from tomorrow (following a short break over this weekend). The reviews posted so far include:
- All My Poetry – CLOSE YOUR EYES
- F Girl – Baby DONT Cry
- What You Want – CORTIS
- NERDY – ifeye
- CHAN-RAN – idid
- FREAK ALARM – ALPHA DRIVE ONE (I know they officially debuted this year, but I don’t think that means we should carve them out during a week )
- KILL MA BO$$ – KIIRAS
- I Did It – AxMxP
- You Never Met – uneverm8t (idntt)
- Waste No Time – XngHan&Xoul
There will be four more reviews for the debuts of NEWBEAT, KANG YUCHAN, AtHeart and USPEER. If (and that is a big if) I find some time this week, I might even review some other tracks for rookies I had already covered in 2025 (i.e., KickFlip, KiiiKiii, Hearts2Hearts, etc.).
What else have I been listening to?
Each week, I spotlight a song not on the Weekly KPOP Charts that I’ve been listening to over the past week. This week’s song, thanks to their comeback, is Stray Kids’ Lose My Breath (ft. Charlie Puth).
Non-Korean Song of the Week
Each week, the top-ranked non-Korean Song on the Weekly KPOP Chart is spotlighted (as this is an area I haven’t been focusing on as much on my blog lately). The non-Korean song of the past week is ZICO and Lilas’ DUET.
The Chart
ENHYPEN’s Knife is in the top spot this past week. Congratulations to ENHYPEN!
