Soompi's K-Pop Music Chart 2026, May Week 4
ILLIT’s “It’s Me” moves up one spot to take over as the new No. 1 song this week. Congratulations to ILLIT!
Last week’s champion, CORTIS’s “REDRED,” is down one spot to No. 2 this week.
There are two new songs in the top 10 this week.
Debuting at No. 3 is NMIXX’s “Heavy Serenade,” the title track from their new mini album of the same name. “Heavy Serenade” is a “mixx pop” song that meshes the pop genre with elements of electronic music. Singer-songwriter HANRORO wrote the lyrics, which express deep and definite love.
aespa’s “WDA (Whole Different Animal)” featuring G-Dragon, a pre-released track from their upcoming second full album “LEMONADE,” debuts at No. 5. “WDA (Whole Different Animal)” is a hip hop-based dance track that delivers an overwhelming sense of presence with its grand synth bass sounds and heavy hook.
