According to the latest Top 40 Radio Chart chart released by Mediabase, Baby Monster's song "Choom" debuted at number 35.
This is the first time a product of the YG Entertainment girl group has entered the US public radio chart. The achievement shows that Baby Monster's level of recognition is gradually expanding beyond the Kpop fan community.
Notably, "Choom" achieved this result in the context that Baby Monster did not conduct a separate promotional campaign in the US market. The song is being played on several major radio stations such as KIIS-FM in Los Angeles, Z100 (WHTZ-FM) in New York and WKSC-FM in Chicago.
Appearing on the playlists of major stations is seen as an opportunity for Baby Monster's music to reach the general audience in the US, instead of mainly spreading through online platforms.
Mediabase's Top 40 Radio Chart is built based on broadcast data from major radio stations in the US and Canada. Mediabase's data is also used as reference for the Radio Songs chart. This is one of the components that contribute to determining the ranking on the Billboard Hot 100.
Therefore, the number of broadcasts is often seen as an important indicator reflecting the ability of artists in North America to reach the mass market. However, to go deeper on major charts, the product also depends on many factors such as online listens, sales and broadcast maintenance.
Choom" is the title track of Baby Monster's third mini album of the same name, released in May 2026. The product focuses on exploiting the group's strengths in dance and performance.
According to YG Entertainment, the album once topped the iTunes charts in 19 regions, and also topped the global album charts. The product sold over 750,000 copies after about a week of release.
After ending the official promotion for the title track, Baby Monster continues to maintain heat by releasing content related to the remaining songs in the album in turn.
The fact that "Choom" entered the US radio charts after 11 weeks of release shows that the song still maintains its spreading ability, instead of just creating an effect in the early stages of release.
Baby Monster is currently preparing to enter their second world tour. After the opening nights in Seoul, the group plans to organize 29 performances in 18 cities in 5 continents, including Asia, North America, Europe and South America.
The new achievement of "Choom" is expected to add more attraction to Baby Monster's upcoming performances in North America.
