Creepy Nuts’ ‘Bling-Bang-Bang-Born’ Logs 19th Week at No. 1 as IS:SUE’s ‘CONNECT’ Debuts at No. 2 on Japan Hot 100

Creepy Nuts’ “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” continues to rule the Billboard Japan Hot 100 for the 19th week on the chart released June 26.

The viral hip-hop hit comes in at No. 2 for downloads, streaming, video views, and karaoke this week. Downloads for the MASHLE Season 2 opener increased slightly compared to last week and overall points decreased only slightly, perhaps due to the duo wrapping up its headlining tour over the weekend (June 23) after having been on the road since March.

Now in its 19th week atop the Japan Hot 100, “BBBB” is closing in on the all-time record for most weeks at No. 1 held by YOASOBI’s “Idol,” which ruled the tally for 22 weeks.

IS:SUE’s “CONNECT” debuts at No. 2. The four-member girl group made its major-label debut on June 19, and “CONNECT” is the lead track off its first single. Launching with 133,769 CDs, the track rules sales and also radio, while coming in at No. 28 for downloads.

Bowing at No. 3 is JEONGHAN X WONWOO’s “Last night (Guitar by Park Juwon)” by two members of the K-pop group SEVENTEEN. The single sold 99,154 CDs in its first week and hits No. 2 for sales, while hitting No. 29 for downloads, No. 36 for video and No. 58 for streaming.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s “Lilac” slips 3-4 this week, but the track has reached No. 1 for streaming after steadily climbing the ranks for weeks. The song has been hovering in the top five on the Japan Hot 100 for ten consecutive weeks.

Outside the top 10, MY FIRST STORY x HYDE’s “Mugen” climbs 21-13. The opener for the Hashira Training arc of the popular anime series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba saw increases in downloads (158% week-over-week), streaming (114%), and radio (132%) ahead of the final episode of the season airing this Sunday (June 30).

The Billboard Japan Hot 100 combines physical and digital sales, audio streams, radio airplay, video views and karaoke data.
