Physical albums: &TEAM first for the month, CLOSE YOUR EYES first for the week

&TEAM's Korean mini album "Mark on Me" debuted at No. 1 on the September physical album chart, a release that had earlier re-entered Billboard's World Albums chart at No. 1. CLOSE YOUR EYES' "256th Note" came in second for the month, followed by Young Tak's "GOGO," BOYNEXTDOOR's repackaged "HOME: DELUXE" and EVAN (Heeseung)'s first mini album "DEATH OF ME." On the weekly physical chart, "256th Note" debuted at No. 1. The regular edition of "HOME: DELUXE" took No. 2, and its Weverse version was counted separately at No. 3. [1][2]

Digital and streaming: RESCENE's double crown, Soyeon's weekly lead

RESCENE's 2024 song "LOVE ATTACK" stayed No. 1 on both the overall digital chart and the streaming chart for September. The group held three of the top five places on each, with "Deja Vu" rising to No. 4 and "Pretty Girl" holding at No. 5. CORTIS's "REDRED" and I.O.I's "Suddenly" kept No. 2 and No. 3. In the weekly rankings, i-dle's Soyeon kept a double crown with "I'm gonna TOESA," with "LOVE ATTACK" at No. 2. On the download chart, Lim Young Woong's "ToTo" opened at No. 1 for the month. [1]

ILLIT leads the social chart

ILLIT ranked No. 1 on the September social chart. BTS stayed at No. 2, BLACKPINK's Jisoo rose to No. 3, BLACKPINK appeared separately at No. 4, and BABYMONSTER completed the top five. The weekly social chart repeated ILLIT at No. 1 and BTS at No. 2, with aespa third, BLACKPINK fourth and Soyeon fifth. A chart ranks a group's activity rather than any single release, so this result concerns ILLIT as an act. [1]

Where ILLIT stood heading into October

ILLIT's most recent release was the single "Swingin' Magic" on September 20, 2026, following the EP "Mamihlapinatapai" in April. For the week ending October 10, "Mamihlapinatapai" rose to No. 6 on Billboard's World Albums chart in its 22nd week there. [3][4]

A busy schedule ahead

ILLIT plays encore concerts at Inspire Arena on October 17 and 18, then releases its fifth mini album, "BREAK EVEN," at 6 p.m. on October 26. The group has been active with four members since June, when Moka paused activities to focus on her health. The group is also on the first performer lineup for Chapter 1 of the 2026 MAMA AWARDS on November 20 and is scheduled for the second night of the Melon Music Awards on November 15. Inference: with this calendar, the group's public activity looks set to stay dense through November, which may keep its social chart position in play. [5][6][7]
