Several top artists made their mark on the Circle Chart in Week 3 of 2026, with HUNTR/X, Hwasa, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, and ENHYPEN each claiming major wins across multiple categories.
The Korea Music Content Association announced that for the chart week spanning January 11th to January 17th, HUNTR/X topped the Global K-pop Chart, Hwasa earned five No. 1 titles, ALPHA DRIVE ONE scored two chart wins, and ENHYPEN claimed the No. 1 spot on the Album Chart.
HUNTR/X, EJAE, Audrey Nuna, Rei Ami, and the KPop Demon Hunters cast continued their dominance with “Golden,” which has now held No. 1 on the Global K-pop Chart for 29 consecutive weeks. The track, part of Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters OST, became a worldwide trend following its release last June, fueled by a wave of covers from artists around the globe.
Hwasa swept five charts with “Good Goodbye,” which saw a major resurgence after her performance at the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards. The song topped the Digital Chart with a Circle Index of 15,984,503, along with the Streaming, V Caller Ring, Ringtone, and Dial Tone charts. Released last October, “Good Goodbye” is a heartfelt farewell to a past love, carried by Hwasa’s deeply emotional vocals.
Rookie group ALPHA DRIVE ONE earned a double crown with their debut mini album EUPHORIA , which ranked No. 1 on the Retail Album Chart (435,473 copies sold). The album’s title track “FREAK ALARM” also took the top spot on the Download Chart. The hip-hop dance track introduces the group’s arrival with bold energy and attitude.
ENHYPEN topped the Album Chart with their seventh mini album THE SIN: VANISH (1,803,105 copies sold). The release marks the start of a new album series centered on the theme of sin and features 11 tracks, including the title song “Knife.”
On the Social Chart 3.0, which reflects K-pop’s global online presence, ILLIT remained at No. 1 for the fourth consecutive week. The biggest climber of the week was NCT Wish.
New entries to the Global K-pop Chart Top 200 for Week 3 include LNGSHOT’s “Moonwalkin’” at No. 47, ENHYPEN’s “Knife” at No. 56, SEVENTEEN members Dokyeom and Seungkwan’s duet “Blue” at No. 66, and ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s “FREAK ALARM” at No. 100.
