Circle Chart, Oct. 11–17: A2O LITE's "NEON" Takes Two Top Spots as ILLIT Stays No. 1 on Social Chart

Circle Chart has published its rankings for the week of October 11 to 17. Rookie girl group A2O LITE took a double crown with their debut single "NEON," which topped both the overall digital chart and the global K-pop chart. ILLIT stayed at No. 1 on the social chart for another week. [1]

Digital, streaming and download placings

Behind "NEON" on the overall digital chart, PLAVE's new title track "Star Trace" debuted at No. 2. i-dle member Soyeon's "I'm gonna TOESA" was No. 3, RESCENE's "LOVE ATTACK" No. 4 and the AI project MEOMURU's "The Adult I Dreamed Of" No. 5. On the streaming chart, Soyeon held No. 1 and RESCENE stayed at No. 2, while "NEON" entered at No. 3. PLAVE took four of the top five places on the digital download chart, with "Star Trace" at No. 1.

Physical albums and the global K-pop chart

On the physical album chart, NCT WISH's mini album "I SPY" debuted at No. 1 in its regular version, with a separate SMC version at No. 4. PLAVE's "HYPERDRIVE" placed at No. 2 and, as the separate POCA version, No. 5. MODYSSEY's "2.Multitude: How We Bloom" entered at No. 3. On the global K-pop chart, "NEON" displaced HUNTR/X's "Golden," from the "Kpop Demon Hunters" soundtrack, which slipped to No. 2. BTS's "SWIM" was No. 3, followed by Rosé and Bruno Mars' "APT." and ATEEZ's "BAD." [1]

ILLIT keeps its social chart lead

ILLIT continued their run at the top of the social chart, ahead of BTS at No. 2, A2O LITE at No. 3, TWICE at No. 4 and BLACKPINK at No. 5. The group had already led the weekly social ranking in Circle Chart's September monthly and weekly report, where it also topped the monthly social chart. The latest result therefore extends a lead that appeared in the previous report. [1][2]

What the week's results show

A debut single claiming the top of both the overall digital and global K-pop rankings makes A2O LITE the main newcomer of the week. The global chart's top spot changed hands, since "Golden" had held No. 1 on that chart through September. PLAVE's sweep of the download chart came alongside two placements on the physical album chart, so the group's new release performed strongly in both formats. [1][3]

ILLIT's new EP arrives after this chart window

ILLIT's fifth EP, "Break Even," was released on October 26, after the period covered by these rankings. Its lead track "You're Under Arrest" was first performed at the group's encore concerts in Incheon, and the EP drew over half a million Spotify pre-saves. The group is promoting as a quartet, as Moka remains on hiatus. Iroha also sprained her ankle during rehearsal for the second concert night. Its Circle Chart performance would show up in later reports; that is an inference from the release date, not something yet reported. [4][5][6][7]
