Creepy Nuts' “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” is at No. 1 for an 18th week on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, which was released on June 19.
Likely due to the hype surrounding the duo's Yoyogi 1st Gymnasium performances over the weekend (June 15 and 16), the MASHLE The Season 2 premiere saw an increase in radio airplay this week and kept declines in other metrics to a minimum. Total points for the long-running hit, now in its 23rd week on the Japan Hot 100, remained almost unchanged at 95% compared to the previous week. R-shitei and DJ Matsunaga are set to hold their first Tokyo Dome concert in February 2025 and have also announced the production of a new album.
Travis Japan's “Sweetest Tune” debuts at No. 2. The seven-piece group's fifth single appears on the drama series Tokyo Tower and was released digitally on June 10. The song debuted with 44,971 downloads at the top of the count, while reaching No. 29 for streaming, No. 39 for radio and No. 20 for video views. Comparing its first-week figures to the boy band's previous single, “TGI Friday Night” — which also debuted on the Japan Hot 100 at No. 2 — downloads were down from 75,135 units, but scores for streaming, radio and videos have increased. In particular, streaming and video grew by 126% and 152%, respectively, indicating a shift in viewing trends.
Ms. GREEN APPLE's “Lilac” is at No. 3, seeing an increase in downloads and streaming. Bowing at No. 4 is the trio's latest single, “Columbus,” which is at No. 2 for downloads, No. 5 for streaming and No. 3 for video.
Five songs debuted in the top ten this week and the other three are ≒JOY's “Taiikukan Disco” at No. 6 (No. 1 in sales with 137,761 sales), Angerme's 34th single “Bibitaru Ichigeki” at No. 7 and OWV's “LOVE BANDIT” at No. 8.
The Billboard Japan Hot 100 combines physical and digital sales, audio streams, radio airplay, video views and karaoke data.
