RIIZE Leads Circle Weekly Charts as BTS, I.O.I, CORTIS and ILLIT Hold Key No. 1 Spots

Circle Chart’s latest weekly rankings delivered a wide-angle look at where K-pop attention is moving, with RIIZE, I.O.I, CORTIS, BTS and ILLIT each claiming important No. 1 positions for the week of June 14 to 20. The results show a market split between physical album buyers, domestic digital listeners, streaming audiences, international fans and social media activity.

RIIZE made the clearest multi-category statement. The group earned a double crown after its new mini album II topped the physical album chart and its title track Do your dance debuted at No. 1 on the digital download chart. That combination matters because it reflects both fan-driven purchasing power and immediate interest in the group’s new music.

On the album chart, RIIZE occupied the top two places rather than simply taking first. The regular version of II entered at No. 1, while the SMC version was counted separately at No. 2. That kind of split placement points to strong demand across editions, a common but still meaningful signal in the K-pop physical market.

RIIZE Turns New Release Into A Double Crown

CORTIS also remained a significant presence on the album list, with GREENGREEN holding at No. 3. ONF’s ONF:MY SELF opened at No. 4, while the Weverse version of BOYNEXTDOOR’s first full-length album HOME stayed in the top five at No. 5. Together, those rankings underline how both new releases and sustained fan purchases shaped the week’s physical chart.

The download chart further strengthened RIIZE’s week. Do your dance opened at No. 1, and the B-side SOAR arrived at No. 5. Between those two entries, ISEGYE IDOL’s Smile For You debuted at No. 2, ONF’s Open The Door entered at No. 3, and I.O.I’s Suddenly rounded out the top five. The category was therefore led by new arrivals, but also left room for songs with broader recognition.

The overall digital chart showed a more stable picture. I.O.I’s Suddenly held at No. 1, followed by CORTIS’s REDRED at No. 2, aespa’s LEMONADE at No. 3 and ILLIT’s It’s Me at No. 4. RESCENE’s LOVE ATTACK climbed to No. 5, making it the only new movement inside a top five that otherwise stayed largely unchanged from the previous week.

Digital And Streaming Charts Show Staying Power

The streaming chart closely matched the overall digital ranking, but with one key reversal. CORTIS’s REDRED took No. 1 on streaming, while I.O.I’s Suddenly placed at No. 2. That swap suggests that the two tracks are competing from slightly different strengths: I.O.I leading the broader digital calculation, and CORTIS commanding repeat streaming activity during the same tracking period.

BTS continued to dominate the global K-pop chart. The group’s latest title track SWIM remained at No. 1, while the new single Come Over rose to No. 4. HUNTR/X’s Golden, from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, held at No. 2, and the collaboration ICONIC BY MISTAKE by LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT and KATSEYE jumped to No. 3. CORTIS’s REDRED completed the top five, giving the group another strong placement beyond domestic streaming.

The social chart added another layer to the week’s story. ILLIT climbed to No. 1 on Social Chart 3.0, ahead of BTS at No. 2, Yena at No. 3, aespa at No. 4 and BABYMONSTER at No. 5. While social rankings do not always move in lockstep with sales or streaming, they can show which artists are generating active fan engagement and online conversation.

Taken together, the latest Circle rankings point to a competitive K-pop field rather than a single runaway narrative. RIIZE had the strongest new-release week, BTS remained a global chart anchor, I.O.I and CORTIS split major digital and streaming honors, and ILLIT converted online momentum into a social-chart lead. The result is a snapshot of an industry where different fan behaviors continue to produce different winners.
