AKMU, the sibling duo revered for their distinctive musical touch, has once again proven their mettle by securing the top position on Melon, South Korea’s premier music chart, for an unprecedented nine weeks in a row.
Announced by YG Entertainment on November 7 KST, AKMU’s fourth studio single “Love Lee” has topped the Melon/Genie weekly chart for the week of October 30 to November 5, 2023. This feat is the latest in a series of triumphs for the song, which first hit the number one spot in September and has impressively held on ever since.
Notably, “Love Lee” has set a new record for the longest run at number one on the Melon chart for the fourth week of October, surpassing any other release this year. Its enduring popularity is a testament to AKMU’s compelling artistry and deep connection with listeners.
The song’s influence extends beyond Melon, achieving a ‘Perfect All Kill’ status over 126 times on major music platforms such as Melon, Genie, Bugs, Vibe, and Flo. It has also been a mainstay at the pinnacle of the Circle Chart’s streaming category for eight consecutive weeks.
“Love Lee” isn’t the only AKMU song that’s capturing hearts; “Fry’s Dream” also remains a firm favorite on domestic music charts. With “Love Lee” still gaining momentum and AKMU’s popularity showing no signs of waning, the duo’s chart domination looks set to continue, much to the delight of fans and music enthusiasts alike.
