According to the announcement from Official Charts, aespa's song Lemonade debuted at number 95 on the Official Singles Chart in the week from June 4th to 10th. This is the first time since its debut that the SM Entertainment girl group has been named on the UK official singles chart.
This achievement marks another notable milestone in the journey to expand aespa's influence in the international music market. Previously, the group had appeared many times on major charts in the US, Japan and many other countries, but Official Singles Chart is still considered one of the most difficult challenges to conquer for K-pop artists.
Not only appearing on the main chart, Lemonade also recorded positive results in the Official Charts system-dependent charts. The song debuted at number 13 on the Official Singles Downloads Chart and number 15 on the Official Singles Sales Chart in the same week.
These figures show that the appeal of the new product comes not only from online listening volume but also reflects the strong support of fans through digital music purchase activities.
Lemonade is the theme song in aespa's latest promotion. With catchy melodies, unique performances and an expanding number of international fans, the song quickly created a positive effect on many music platforms after its release.
The first appearance on the Official Singles Chart is considered a positive sign showing that aespa's ability to reach the general public in the UK is increasingly improving. This achievement also continues to affirm the group's position in the K-pop wave that is expanding its influence in major music markets around the world.
