The group LE SSERAFIM has made a significant impact on the Japanese charts for the first half of the year.
According to Amazon Music Japan’s ‘Best Artist of the First Half of 2024‘ (calculation period: October 1, 2023 – May 31, 2024) announced on the 21st, LE SSERAFIM secured the top spot in the ‘Best of K-pop‘ category. This chart is compiled by combining album sales and cumulative streaming numbers.
Amazon Music stated, “LE SSERAFIM’s ‘EASY’ dominated the charts immediately upon its release and garnered significant attention, even entering the US Billboard ‘Hot 100’ thanks to its worldwide popularity. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that K-pop in the first half of 2024 was all about LE SSERAFIM.”
Previously, LE SSERAFIM also ranked highest among K-pop artists in Billboard Japan’s ‘Top Artists‘ and two song charts for the first half of 2024, and they achieved the highest rankings among K-pop girl groups in three album charts.
Furthermore, they were the only overseas artist to be listed in both the comprehensive album chart ‘Hot Albums‘ and the comprehensive song chart ‘Hot 100‘ in the ‘First Half of 2024 Chart‘, drawing considerable attention.
Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM will meet local fans through their first Japan fan meeting ‘LE SSERAFIM FAN MEETING FEARNADA 2024 S/S – JAPAN‘ following their debut.
They will hold a total of nine performances across four regions: Hyogo (June 29-30), Aichi (July 6-7), Kanagawa (July 13-15), and Fukuoka (July 30-31).
