Ado’s “Show” rises 3-1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, dated Sept. 27, charting the week ending Sept. 24.
Ado collaborated with Universal Studios Japan for its Halloween event “Halloween Horror Nights” for this track, featured as the theme for the event’s dance show “Zombie de Dance” continuing through Nov. 5.
“Show” dropped digitally on Sept. 6 and debuted on the Japan Hot 100 at No. 8 on the week of Sept. 13. It hits No. 1 this week from No. 3 the week before, giving the enigmatic songstress her first No. 1 since “New Genesis” as Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED.
The song is powered by streams, which increased 1.3 times from the previous week to 12,058,768 weekly streams, rising 3-1 for the metric. Downloads increased by 0.8 percent from last week to 13,430 units (No. 3). “Show” comes in at No. 2 for video views and No. 8 for radio airplay.
YOASOBI’s “Idol” holds at No. 2. The former No. 1 song (21 weeks) is currently at No. 2 for streaming (10,346,854 streams), No. 8 for downloads (6,242 units), No. 3 for video, No. 68 for radio, and continues to rule karaoke.
King Gnu‘s “SPECIALZ” rises a notch to No. 3 this week. The Jujutsu Kaisen Shibuya Incident story arc opener debuted on the chart four weeks ago on Sept. 6. The accompanying music video for the track dropped last week (Sept. 21) and the song debuts on video at No. 5, while coming in at No. 32 for physical sales, No. 5 for downloads (8,958 units), No. 3 for streaming (9,598,943 streams), and No. 15 for radio. Although slowing down overall, the “Ichizu” band’s latest single collects points in a balanced way to hit its current peak on the Japan Hot 100.
The Billboard Japan Hot 100 combines physical and digital sales, audio streams, radio airplay, video views and karaoke data.
