The situation
LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, and KATSEYE's collaborative single "ICONIC BY MISTAKE" has reached a new peak on the Billboard Global 200, climbing to No. 23 in its second week. The song also maintained its position on the Global Excl. U.S. chart at No. 24 and spent a second week on the Hot 100 at No. 43. This upward trend suggests the song's popularity is still growing.
What the internet did with it
- Theqoo users noted the song's steady performance, with one comment stating — "it's not like it's a huge surprise but still impressive that they're doing this well on Billboard" and the room was generally unbothered, discussing the song's chart performance in a matter-of-fact way.
- KATSEYE's jump to No. 35 on Billboard's Artist 100 chart is particularly noteworthy, indicating increased recognition for the artist.
- LE SSERAFIM's position at No. 97 on the same chart, while lower, still signifies their ongoing presence in the global music scene.
The open question
The key question now is whether "ICONIC BY MISTAKE" can sustain its momentum and potentially break into the top 20 on the Billboard Global 200, which would be a significant milestone for the collaborating artists.
