Creepy Nuts’ ‘Bling-Bang-Bang-Born’ 6th Week at No. 1 on Japan Hot 100

Creepy Nuts’ “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” stays atop the Billboard Japan Hot 100 for the sixth week on the chart dated March 6.

The MASHLE Season 2 opener slips to No. 2 for downloads with 16,031 units, down by about 17.8% from the previous week, while streaming remains almost unchanged at 21,256,220 streams (No. 1), down by about 1.8%. The track comes in at No.11 for radio airplay and No. 3 for karaoke, maintaining a strong lead on the Japan Hot 100.

A number of new releases have entered the top 10 for the first time this week. Debuting on the list at No. 2 is SKE48’s “Ai no Hologram,” launching with 399,984 CDs — the second highest first-week record for the group after their previous release — to hit No. 1 for sales. The group’s 32nd single also comes in at No. 4 for radio.

Bowing at No. 3 is NCT WISH’s “WISH.” The global boy band’s first single in Japan sold 93,186 copies in its first week to come in at No. 3 for sales. The track rules radio and comes in at No. 68 for video views, which helped overturn the difference in CD sales between the track debuting at No. 4 on the Japan Hot 100 this week, ATEEZ’s “NOT OKAY,” which launched with 307,329 CDs (No. 2 for the metric). This figure for the eight-member K-pop group’s third single in Japan (and the first in about a year) is a career high. It also comes in at No. 48 for downloads with 1,011 weekly units.

Vaundy’s “Time Paradox” moves 25-9. The “Kaiju no hanauta” hitmaker’s latest release is the theme song for the latest animated Doraemon feature film called Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Earth Symphony that hit domestic theaters Mar. 1. After first charting at No. 39 on Jan. 17, the track gradually climbed the tally and broke into the top 10 this week after the CD dropped Feb. 28. First-week sales for the track totaled 5,286 copies to hit No. 13 for the metric, while also coming in at No. 13 for downloads with 2,625 units and No. 11 for streaming with 5,532,741 weekly streams. It also hits No. 3 for radio and No. 23 for video with 530,108 views.

While still outside the top 10 on the Japan Hot 100 at No. 12, BE:FIRST’s “Set Sail” is this week’s No. 1 song for downloads. The latest release by the seven-member J-pop boy band was written as a collaborative effort with ONE PIECE CARD GAME, and is the lead track off the group’s upcoming concept single called “Masterplan,” due Apr. 24. The track debuts on the charts after being released Feb. 26, coming in at No. 24 for streaming, No. 53 for radio, and No. 37 for video.

The Billboard Japan Hot 100 combines physical and digital sales, audio streams, radio airplay, video views and karaoke data.
