Top 10 Chart Analysis

Top 3 Analysis & Continuity

Rank 1: 퇴사할게여 (Narr. 기안84) – 소연 (SOYEON)
SOYEON maintains her hold on the chart’s summit with a movement of 0 places compared to last week. The track has demonstrated absolute stability at the top, recording an exact three-week Rank 1. Without any drop in chart performance over the observed period, the song remains the clear frontrunner in current listening metrics.

Rank 2: LOVE ATTACK – RESCENE (리센느)
RESCENE secures the runner-up spot once more, also reflecting a movement of 0 places from the previous week. Its chart trajectory has completely mirrored the leading song, locked into a steadfast three-week Rank 2. The group’s massive streaming power is further evidenced by their multiple entries across the Top 10.

Rank 3: 갑자기 – 아이오아이 (I.O.I)
I.O.I completes an entirely static Top 3 lineup for the week, with “갑자기” registering a movement of 0 places. The track has defended its position firmly against rising contenders, maintaining an unchanged and solid 3-week Rank 3.

Discovery of the Week – Artist Focus

WOODZ
WOODZ successfully breaks into the Top 10 this week with “Drowning.” After hovering just outside the uppermost tier at Rank 12 for the past two consecutive weeks, the track has finally gathered enough sustained listening volume to secure the Rank 10 spot. This slow, calculated, and persistent ascent highlights the dedicated listener base driving the artist’s current chart movement.

Chart Forecast

Given the unyielding stability in the top three ranks, next week’s chart may continue to see SOYEON, RESCENE, and I.O.I defending their peak placements. However, rising tracks just below the Top 10 suggest potential volatility ahead. 머무르’s “꿈꾸던 어른이 되었나요?” has surged an impressive 21 places from Rank 33 to Rank 12, while ALLDAY PROJECT’s “CRASH” leaped an explosive 43 places from Rank 84 to Rank 41. If these rapid upward trajectories continue, they could begin applying severe pressure to the upper echelon. Additionally, RESCENE’s dominant presence with three songs in the Top 5 (“LOVE ATTACK,” “Deja Vu,” and “Pretty Girl”) suggests the group will remain a heavy influencer on next week’s metrics.
