'The Miracle of Small and Medium Enterprises'... Fifty Fifty Enters Billboard for 8 Consecutive Weeks
Song 'Cupid' Sweeps Billboard Charts
BTS Suga, LE SSERAFIM, and aespa Also Enter
Rookie girl group Fifty Fifty's hit song 'Cupid' has successfully entered the US Billboard main chart 'Hot 100' for 8 consecutive weeks.
On the 'Hot 100' chart released by Billboard on the 16th (KST), 'Cupid' rose two spots from the previous week to rank 17th.
The 17th place occupied by Fifty Fifty on the chart is the second highest among K-pop girl groups and the fifth highest among all K-pop artists.
Notably, entering the 'Hot 100' chart for 8 consecutive weeks is a record shared with BLACKPINK's 2020 collaboration with Selena Gomez, 'Ice Cream.'
In addition, Fifty Fifty ranked 8th on the 'Streaming Songs' chart, 2nd on the 'World Digital Song Sales' chart, and 58th on the 'Artist 100' chart.
Fifty Fifty started their activities with a small-scale investment from a newly established small agency founded in 2021. However, 'Cupid' gained popularity on the social media platform TikTok, spreading the song worldwide and achieving what is called the 'miracle of a small agency.'
Meanwhile, besides Fifty Fifty, several other K-pop artists have also shown their strength by appearing on the Billboard charts.
Suga of the group BTS released his first official solo album 'D-Day,' which ranked 36th on the 'Billboard 200' chart, entering for the third consecutive week.
Le Sserafim, returning with their first full-length album 'Unforgiven,' achieved a personal record by ranking 6th on the 'Billboard 200' chart.
