JO1's “Love seeker” reaches No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, rising from No. 59 on the chart released on June 5.
“Love seeker” is the title track from the 11-member boy band's eighth single “HITCHHIKER”. The song dropped digitally on May 12 and debuted on the Japan Hot 100 at No. 48 (May 22), then dropped to No. 59 the following week before reaching the top spot this week thanks to sales. The group scored the biggest first-week CD sales with 738,776 copies to count the metric, while coming in at No. 3 for downloads (15,613 units, up about 2,800% from the previous week), No. 25 for streaming (up 157%) , No. 31 for video views (up 117%) and No. 5 for radio airplay (up 688%).
Debuting at No. 2 is Number_i's “BON,” a track from the trio's mini album No.O -ring-, was released on May 27. The song debuts at No. 1 for downloads with 49,896 units and also dominates radio and video, coming in at No. 13 for streaming to narrowly reach No. 2 on the Japan Hot 100 with no points for physical sales. The group's former No. 1 song “GOAT” moved 64-54 due to the new release, and six of the mini album's tracks, including “BON,” entered the Japan Hot 100.
Incidentally, King & Prince's former No. 1 hits “Tsukiyomi” and “Cinderella Girl” — which were made available for streaming late last month — also return to the Japan Hot 100. Both songs are from the group's five-member era — Number_i consists of three former members of King & Prince — and has seen an increase in weekly streaming and video views. “Tsukiyomi” returns for the first time in about a year and three months, while “Cinderella Girl” returns for the first time in about a year.
comdot's “Haikei Oretachihe” bows at No. 3 on the Japan Hot 100. The first single from the five-member YouTubers sold 136,964 copies and reached No. 2 in sales, while coming in at No. 27 for downloads, No. 16 for streaming, No. 6 for radio and No. 23 for video.
Kenshi Yonezu's 'Mainichi' (Everyday) comes in at No.6 this week. The release of this new commercial song for Coca-Cola Japan's 'Georgia' brand topped the hitmaker's other songs on the charts, with 'Sayonara, Mata Itsuka!' noticing an increase in downloads and “Lemon” in both streaming and downloads.
BEYOOOOONDS' first single in about a year and a month called “Hai to Diamond” drops to No. 7, selling 99,222 copies to reach No. 3 in sales, while coming in at No. 10 for downloads and No. 16 for the radio.
