Le Sserafim’s newly released song “Crazy” ranked No. 76 on Billboard’s Hot 100, said agency Source Music Tuesday citing the publication.
This is the second time the group made the main songs chart, after “Easy” which entered it at No. 99 in March. Le Sserafim is one of only two K-pop girl groups to make the chart this year -- along with Illit.
“Crazy” is the lead single from the group's fourth EP of the same title, which debuted at No. 7 on Billboard 200 after topping Oricon’s Daily Album Ranking. The single hit UK’s Official singles Chart Top 100 at No. 83, a first for the quintet.
Meanwhile, the members flew to New York Sunday to join the lineup for 2024 MTV Video Music Awards’ Pre-Show slated for Wednesday in the US.
Riize sweeps charts in Japan with debut single
Riize topped singles charts in Japan with its debut single “Lucky,” according to label SM Entertainment Tuesday.

The Japan single consists of three tracks -- the titular track and B-side tracks “Be My Next” and “Same Key.” The latter was also used as an original soundtrack for Japanese drama “Makeup with Mud.”
Late last month, the rookie boy band wrapped up its fan concert tour in Japan in Aichi. The sold-out tour took the six members to nine cities for 15 live shows and they unveiled the three songs from the single in advance to the audience.

The first-day sales surpassed the first-week sales record of the band's previous EP “How?” which logged 530,000. The second EP entered Billboard 200 at No. 93.
The bandmates -- Jaehyun, Taesan and Woonhak in particular -- participated in writing five songs, candidly sharing their thoughts and the concerns of youth on the verge of turning 20 as the album title suggests.

Doyoung of NCT will bring his first solo tour to a close with an encore concert in Seoul on Nov. 1-3, said label SM Entertainment Tuesday.
The final gig is named Dearest Youth, a spin off of Dear Youth, the name of Doyoung's first solo across Asia. The tour began in late June and, after hopping around Taipei, Hong Kong and Bangkok, wrapped up its Japanese leg on Sunday. Tickets for all seven concerts sold out and the Tokyo gig alone drew over 18,000 fans. The tour will resume in Jakarta, Indonesia on Sept. 21.
The singer dropped his first solo album “Youth” in April and as the main vocalist of NCT subunit NCT127, released sixth studio album “Walk” in July. The seven-member subunit held a fan meeting in Seoul last month celebrating the 8th anniversary of debut.
