Creepy Nuts' “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” extends its stay atop the Billboard Japan Hot 100 to 15 weeks on the chart dated May 15.
Fifteen weeks at No. 1 on the Japan Hot 100 is second only to YOASOBI's “Idol,” which holds the all-time record of 22 weeks. “BBBB” dominates four metrics this week — downloads, streaming, video views and karaoke — and while scores for each are down from last week, the differences are small: 91% for downloads each week, 88% for streaming , 74% for radio, 87% for video and karaoke. A video of the duo's performance of the long-running hit was recently featured in the Recording Academy's “GRAMMYs Global Spin” segment, and the hip-hop beat continues to reach global listeners. The track also continues to dominate the Global Japan Songs chart.
Bowing at No. 2 is &TEAM's “Samidare.” It is the first single from the nine-member global group, although the group debuted in December 2022 on HYBE LABELS JAPAN. The track debuts at No. 2 in sales with 440,615 CD sales in its first week, No. 7 in downloads with 5,295 units, No. 21 at radio, No. 36 on video and No. 90 on streaming, garnering points in a balanced manner, though it didn't beat any of the metrics.
At No. 3 is “Kimi wa Honey Dew” by Hinatazaka46. The 11th single from the J-pop girl group sold 521,676 copies in its first week to reach No. 1 sales, while reaching No. 34 for downloads, No. 15 for karaoke and No. 89 for videos.
Ms. GREEN APPLE's “Lilac” slips 2-4 this week, with radio scores dropping a significant 20% from last week. However, points for videos and karaoke have increased, and while not measured in the Japan Hot 100's methodology, points have also been earned for user-generated content, a trend that suggests the track could expand its reach further. . In addition, five songs from the three-piece group climbed the Japan Hot 100 this week: “Dancehall” moves 26-22, “Ao to Natsu” 31-24, “Soranji” 33-29, “Romanticism” 91-83, and “ Blue Ambience (feat. asmi)” reaches No. 98.
The Billboard Japan Hot 100 combines physical and digital sales, audio streams, radio airplay, video views and karaoke data.
