Fifty Fifty, the sensational K-pop girl group, has achieved a groundbreaking feat by entering the top 10 of the British Official Singles Chart for the very first time with their viral hit song “Cupid.”
In the latest chart released on Friday, “Cupid” skyrocketed an impressive nine places from the previous week, securing the ninth position after spending six consecutive weeks on the chart.
Since its debut at No. 96, the song has experienced a remarkable ascent, steadily climbing through the ranks at No. 61, 34, 26, and 18, before finally claiming its place in the top 10.
This historic achievement marks the first time a K-pop girl group has reached the prestigious British Official Singles Chart’s top 10. Previously, the highest ranking attained by a K-pop girl group was 17th place, accomplished by BLACKPINK with their 2020 collaboration single with Lady Gaga, “Sour Candy.”
“The phenomenal group, consisting of Saena, Aran, Keena, and Sio, has accomplished what no other K-pop girl groups like BLACKPINK, NewJeans, and TWICE have achieved thus far. Their viral hit ‘Cupid’ has broken into the top 10, securing an impressive No. 9 position today,” stated the chart’s operator in an online news article. “The success of ‘Cupid’ underscores the ever-growing popularity of the K-pop genre in the UK,” the article further highlighted.
Furthermore, “Cupid” is poised to extend its reign on the U.S. Billboard, one of the world’s most influential music charts, for a seventh consecutive week. This remarkable achievement solidifies Fifty Fifty’s status as the fastest K-pop group to make an appearance on the Billboard Hot 100.
Since their debut in November, the quartet has captivated audiences worldwide, and their meteoric rise to stardom in late March has been nothing short of extraordinary.
