FIFTY FIFTY boasts overwhelming popularity that goes beyond TikTok to enter US & UK music charts
Girl group FIFTY FIFTY, owner of the hit song “CUPID”, surprises everyone with their increasing popularity overseas.
According to the U.K Official Chart announced on June 9th (local time), FIFTY FIFTY’s “CUPID (Twin Ver.)” ranked No.11, dropping two spots from last week’s record of No.9. With this result, “CUPID (Twin Ver.)” succeeded in ranking on the chart for 11 consecutive weeks, breaking its own record and becoming one of the longest-charting K-pop girl group songs.
The current record for the longest stay on the ‘Official Singles Chart Top 100’ among K-pop girl group songs is 12 weeks, which is held by BLACKPINK and Dua Lipa’s collaboration song “Kiss and Make Up”. Now, FIFTY FIFTY’s “CUPID (Twin Ver.)” is expected to tie the record as the longest-running song on the ‘Official Singles Chart Top 100’ among K-pop girl group songs.
“CUPID (Twin Ver.)” continues its long run on the U.S. Billboard HOT 100 Chart. It also successfully entered the latest HOT 100 chart released on June 6th for 11 weeks in a row, securing its record as the longest-charting K-pop girl group song.
In addition, the world’s largest music streaming platform Spotify surprised global music fans as they once again selected “CUPID (Twin Ver.)” in their playlist “Songs of Summer” with songs expected to receive huge love from listeners around the world this summer.
Making their debut in November last year, FIFTY FIFTY is a girl group consisting of four members, Saena, Aran, Keena and Sio. Their agency Attrakt is a small and medium-sized entertainment company established less than two years ago.
The group began to gain keen attention when the title track “CUPID” of their first single album “The Beginning: Cupid”, which was released in February, entered the U.S. Billboard Main Single Chart ‘HOT 100’ at No.100.
Despite being a rookie group that has not been known widely in Korea, FIFTY FIFTY rapidly rose to stardom among overseas music fans and caused a sensation on social media, such as TikTok and Instagram Reels. Many people call the group a “miracle of small and medium-sized company”.
K-pop fans are looking forward to the future move of FIFTY FIFTY, which has made notable achievements overseas even before establishing a strong position in Korea.
