Le Seraphim, No. 1 in Japan's Oricon Monthly Singles Ranking

LE SSERAFIM has written another new history on the Japanese Oricon chart.

According to the January monthly chart released by Japan's Oricon on the 12th (accounting period December 26, 2022 - January 29, 2023), Le Seraphim (Chaewon Kim, Sakura, Yunjin Heo, Kazuha, Eunchae Hong)'s local debut single ' 'FEARLESS' ranked first in the monthly single ranking, recording 222,286 points.

It has been four years since a K-pop girl group ranked first in the rankings. This single is the most recent release among the albums listed in the 'Top 20' monthly single ranking in January, and it topped the monthly chart with just 6 days' worth of sales.

With its debut single, Le Seraphim swept four categories of the Oricon chart: daily, weekly, weekly combined, and monthly rankings. This is a report card that is comparable to that of popular local artists as well as senior K-pop groups that have been active in Japan for many years. It is especially noteworthy that this achievement was achieved as the first album released in Japan.

In addition, 'FEARLESS' settled in the 'Top 5' in Oricon's daily single ranking as of the 12th, and is expected to be a long-term hit.
