K-pop lovers worldwide have taken notice of the intriguing findings that this week’s Japanese Apple Music Chart has to offer. The popular song “Magnetic” by ILLIT has reportedly risen to an astounding number 5 on the chart.
Conversely, “Supernatural,” the most recent release from NewJeans, is currently ranked number 13. Furthermore, “How Sweet,” an older song by NewJeans, has charted and is currently sitting at number 12.
Shocking Chart Result
There are two reasons why the chart results are extremely unexpected. First off, even though “Magnetic” was published about four months ago, it is still ranking among the top 10. This indicates that people continue to find the song appealing.
On the other hand, NewJeans‘ “Supernatural” was released barely a week ago. Many had anticipated that the song would do higher on Japan’s Apple Music Chart because it is Japanese.
Reactions of Netizens
The way these songs were performed has generated a lot of conversation among online users, particularly in light of the continuing rivalry between ILLIT and NewJeans supporters amid the HYBE-ADOR dispute.
Here are a some of the comments made on social media:
“Magnetic is just a really good song”
“Magnetic is so addictive”
“Both songs are very catchy and lighthearted”
“Magnetic is just the style that would be popular in Japan”
“It’s really just better than the NewJeans songs”
“But NewJeans has 10 songs that consistently chart on Apple Music Japan…even their older songs keep showing up on the chart. NewJeans is more successful in real life”
“I like Magnetic too, but it’s weird that whether it’s ILLIT fans or Bang Si Hyuk, somehow everyone seems to feel inferior to NewJeans…”
“I didn’t think much of the results, but when I looked at the comments, suddenly everyone is bringing up different groups and fighting over them…”
The debate surrounding these chart positions emphasizes how devoted ILLIT and NewJeans’ fan bases are. It’s evident that fans all over the world are connecting with these musicians’ music as they continue to create waves in the K-pop scene.
