Written by djfrosty on April 14, 2023
JO1’s “Tiger” hits No. 1 on this week’s Billboard Japan Hot 100, rocketing from No. 84 on the chart dated April 12.
On the chart tallying the week from April 3 to 9, “Tiger” launched with 416,473 CDs and ruled sales while also dominating radio airplay and downloads. The 11-member boy band’s seventh single also came in at No. 31 for streaming and No. 61 for video views.
Veteran rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN’s new single “SOUVENIR” rises to No. 2 on the Japan Hot 100, powered by sales (58,799 singles sold in its first week, No. 2) and downloads (No. 19). The track is currently at No. 91 for radio and not yet charting in the top 100 for streaming and video, so how these metrics with room for improvement fare in the coming weeks is something to keep an eye on.
Kenshi Yonezu’s “LADY” has been steadily improving in streaming, rising 23-18 for the metric with 4,222,153 weekly streams. The music video dropped this week and racked up 807,887 views to come in at No. 16 for the metric, so combined with strong radio and downloads, the track moves 7-5 on the Japan Hot 100 this week.
The Billboard Japan Hot 100 combines physical and digital sales, audio streams, radio airplay, video views and karaoke data.
