LE SSERAFIM's 'SPAGHETTI' Featuring j-hope of BTS Climbs Global Charts
According to the latest charts released by Billboard on January 10, LE SSERAFIM's debut single, featuring members Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae, has secured spots on the 'Global 200' and 'Global Excl. U.S.' charts at 41st and 29th positions, respectively, for ten consecutive weeks. Both charts saw the song's ranking more than double compared to the previous week.
This upward trend is attributed to their performance at the largest New Year's Eve live show in the U.S. On December 31, LE SSERAFIM became the first K-pop girl group to perform at 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026.' Their performances of 'CRAZY' and 'SPAGHETTI (Member ver.)' captivated the audience, and the video of their performance on the official 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' YouTube channel garnered approximately 500,000 views within a day, making it the most-viewed performance video of the event as of January 3, Korean time.
The song is also gaining traction on Spotify, a leading global audio and music streaming platform. After entering the 'Daily Top Songs Global' chart at 188th on January 1, it climbed to 99th by January 4. Additionally, it re-entered the U.S. 'Daily Viral Songs' chart at 91st on January 4 and rose to 83rd by January 5. This chart ranks songs based on a surge in play counts and shares, further proving the buzz around 'SPAGHETTI (feat. j-hope of BTS).'
LE SSERAFIM is set to attend the '40th Golden Disc Awards' at the Taipei Dome on January 10. Following their buzzworthy performances at recent year-end broadcasts such as KBS2's 'Gayo Daechukje Global Festival,' '2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon,' and '2025 Gayo Daejeon Myeot,' anticipation is high for their upcoming performance at the awards.
