YG TREASURE Tops Japan’s Biggest Music Platform for 2 Consecutive Weeks… Popularity Storm with Japanese Debut Coming Soon
[한국경제TV=유병철 기자] YG’s rookie group TREASURE topped Line Music, Japan’s biggest music platform, for 2 consecutive weeks with 2 different songs.
According to YG Entertainment on March 24, TREASURE’s Japanese debut album pre-release track ‘MY TREASURE’ was ranked at no. 1 on Line Music’s Weekly Chart(3/17/2021~3/23/2021) announced today.
TREASURE has already topped Line Music last week(3/10/2021~3/16/2021) with their Japanese version of ‘BOY’.
‘MY TREASURE’, which is a Pop genre song with a bright mood, has been ranked within the top 10 of Line Music’s Real-time Chart and climbed up to no. 2.
The Japanese version of the song debuted at no. 4 on Line Music after its surprise release on March 10, and finally climbed up to no. 1 on the Weekly Chart following ‘BOY’.
It is rare for songs by a K-Pop rookie group, who are yet to make local debut, top Line Music’s Weekly Chart consecutively.
Since the melodies of the songs are already familiar to the global fans despite the different languages, it proves that TREASURE’s local popularity is huge.
TREASURE is expected to bring sensations with their official Japanese debut coming soon on the 31st. It is because the group has captured the hearts of global fans through only music and video contents, without actual local promotion activities.
All title tracks from TREASURE’s ‘THE FIRST STEP’ series, which reached a total of over 1M in sales, have been ranked at no. 1 on major Japanese charts. TREASURE’s animation theme song ‘BEAUTIFUL’ was also ranked at no. 1, helping the group warm up for their actual local debut.
Japanese media is also paying keen attention to TREASURE. Nippon TV’s ‘Sukkiri’ has spotlighted TREASURE and mentioned that the having 4 Japanese members is one of the key factors of their popularity and success.
‘Sukkiri’ also mentioned that the group will progress even further, since they are equipped with global competence raised through YG’s systematic plan and strategy.
