In a groundbreaking achievement, FIFTY FIFTY has etched their name in the annals of UK music history by becoming the first K-pop girl group to maintain a spot on the UK Official Singles Chart for an astounding 13 weeks.
The Official Charts, often considered the British counterpart to Billboard’s renowned charts, unveiled their latest Official Singles Chart for the week of June 23 to 29 on June 23, local time.
For the second week running, FIFTY FIFTY’s viral sensation, “Cupid,” has secured an impressive position at No. 16. This not only signifies their ninth consecutive week within the coveted top 20 but also marks their 13th uninterrupted week on the chart. As a result, FIFTY FIFTY has surpassed all previous K-pop girl groups in terms of longevity on the UK Official Singles Chart, establishing a remarkable record.
The group’s chart-topping success commenced last month when “Cupid” surpassed the record for the longest-charting non-collaborative K-pop girl group song, solidifying its presence for eight weeks on the chart. Just last week, the track achieved another significant feat by matching the record set by “Kiss and Make Up,” a collaboration between BLACKPINK and Dua Lipa, with an impressive 12-week run. Now, “Cupid” stands tall as the sole K-pop girl group song to triumphantly achieve 13 weeks on the UK Official Singles Chart.
The significance of this accomplishment cannot be overstated, as FIFTY FIFTY continues to captivate audiences with their infectious music, extending their influence to a global stage. The group’s unparalleled success underscores the rising popularity and impact of K-pop worldwide, breaking barriers and reshaping the music industry’s landscape.
Undoubtedly, FIFTY FIFTY has set a new benchmark for K-pop girl groups in the UK, paving the way for future endeavors and cementing their place as trailblazers in the genre. With their remarkable achievement, they have proven that music knows no bounds, transcending borders and resonating with audiences across the globe.
Heartfelt congratulations go out to FIFTY FIFTY on this momentous occasion, and we eagerly anticipate witnessing their continued ascent in the international music scene.
