[Weekly KPOP Chart] 1st Week of October 2024

Welcome back to another Weekly KPOP Chart post, this time for the 1st Week of October 2024! I am expecting work to knock me down for the next week, so I will be scheduling some more reviews over the weekend for the week ahead. I have already got two ready, and will be working on more today and tomorrow (got a public holiday – woo!). As for new releases, I will see what I can get around to writing. Anyhow, on with the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 1st Week of October 2024.

What else am I listening to?

Replacing the ‘Throwback Song’ segment of the weekly KPOP chart posts is a ‘What else am I listening to?‘ segment in the world of KPOP. Basically the same thing, but framed in a way that should eliminate the idea a more recent song (say released in the last year) is a ‘throwback song’. And I am riding the wave of 2NE1’s reunion concerts with this week’s song – UGLY.

Non-Korean Song of the Week

As this blog focuses primarily on KPOP songs, I want to draw attention to a particular song that isn’t in Korean in this part of the Weekly KPOP Chart post. That song will be the top-ranking non-Korean song on each Weekly KPOP Chart post. The highest-ranking non-Korean song for the 1st Week of October 2024 is JAEHYUN’s Roses, which ranks in the 6th position this week. Roses was previously the non-Korean song for the 2nd Week of August 2024.

The Charts

LE SSERAFIM’s CRAZY is the top song for the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 1st Week of October 2024. Congratulations to LE SSERAFIM!
