In a groundbreaking achievement for the K-pop genre, the sensational girl group Fifty Fifty has etched their names in music history with their hit song "Cupid." Breaking barriers and setting new records, the infectious track has secured its position as the longest-running entry by a K-pop girl group on the prestigious British Official Singles Chart Top 100.
According to the latest data released on Friday (United Kingdom time), "Cupid" maintained a strong presence on the chart for an impressive 13 consecutive weeks, currently holding the 16th spot after descending from its previous position at 12th. This remarkable feat surpasses the previous record held by "Kiss and Make Up," a collaborative single between BLACKPINK and Dua Lipa, which spent a commendable 12 weeks on the chart.
Fifty Fifty's "Cupid" made its grand entrance onto the British music scene in early April, debuting at No. 96. Since then, the song's popularity has soared, propelling it up the ranks with remarkable speed. On May 12, "Cupid" reached its peak at an impressive No. 8, solidifying Fifty Fifty's status as the first K-pop girl group to crack the top 10 of the British Official Singles Chart. This unprecedented achievement serves as a testament to the group's immense talent and the global appeal of K-pop.
However, their groundbreaking success does not end there. On the revered Billboard Hot 100, Fifty Fifty's "Cupid" has also secured the title of the longest-charting K-pop girl group entry, spending an astonishing 13 weeks on the chart without falter. This remarkable achievement reflects the group's unwavering popularity and their ability to captivate audiences across international borders.
Since their debut in November, Fifty Fifty has skyrocketed to stardom, capturing the hearts of music lovers worldwide. In late March, they shattered records once again, cementing their place in music history as the fastest K-pop group to enter the illustrious Billboard Hot 100. Their meteoric rise continues to redefine the global music landscape and pave the way for future K-pop acts seeking to make their mark on the international stage.
While Fifty Fifty's record-breaking success dominates the headlines, it's worth noting that the K-pop wave continues to surge across different musical realms. Boy group Group Ateez has made a remarkable debut on the British Official Albums Chart Top 100 with their ninth EP, "The World Ep. 2: Outlaw," claiming an impressive No. 10 position. This achievement not only underscores the growing influence of K-pop but also demonstrates the fervent reception of diverse K-pop acts by audiences around the world.
As Fifty Fifty's "Cupid" continues its reign on the British Official Singles Chart, their historic feat will undoubtedly inspire and propel the global expansion of K-pop, leaving an indelible mark on the ever-evolving music industry. With their trailblazing spirit and undeniable talent, Fifty Fifty represents a new era of cross-cultural musical triumph, cementing their position as trendsetters and opening doors for future K-pop sensations.
