LE SSERAFIM has once again made waves on the U.S. Billboard main album chart.
According to Billboard‘s official report on Sunday, LE SSERAFIM‘s fifth mini-album, HOT, debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart for the week of March 29.
The album recorded 38,500 physical sales and 7,000 SEA units (streaming-equivalent albums).
With this achievement, LE SSERAFIM becomes the only fourth-generation K-pop girl group to have four consecutive albums rank in the Billboard 200‘s Top 10. Their previous releases—the full-length album UNFORGIVEN and mini-albums EASY and CRAZY—peaked at No. 6, No. 8, and No. 7, respectively. Notably, their 2022 mini-album ANTIFRAGILE debuted at No. 14, setting the record for the fastest-charting K-pop girl group album post-debut.
LE SSERAFIM‘s latest album continues to shine on global music charts. It topped the Hanteo Chart‘s weekly album ranking (March 10-16) and Circle Chart‘s Week 11 album chart (March 9-15).
The “HOT” title track is also gaining domestic and international momentum. The song has been steadily climbing daily rankings on major Korean music platforms such as Melon, Bugs, and Genie. On March 20, it reached No. 3 on Apple Music Korea’s “Today’s Top 100.” On Spotify, “HOT” garnered 10,230,591 streams over the past week (March 14-20), making it the most-streamed K-pop group song during this period. The track also entered Spotify’s “Weekly Top Songs Global” chart at No. 146.
Looking ahead, LE SSERAFIM is set to embark on its first world tour, 2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘EASY CRAZY HOT,’ starting with a performance in Incheon this April. This marks the grand finale of its trilogy project, which includes the mini-albums EASY, CRAZY, and its latest release, HOT.
