The music videos of these K-pop superstars ranked high on K-Pop Radar for the first full week of December! In particular, one of the current most popular groups, NCT, reigned as No. 1 on the K-Pop Radar weekly chart.
Along with the group, some of the biggest K-pop groups in this era prove their supremacy in the industry as well, including BTS, BLACKPINK, TWICE, IZ*ONE, and the K-pop icon Psy.
NCT Sits at No. 1 for This Week's K-Pop Radar's "Top 10 Music Video"
NCT 2020's "RESONANCE" music video, which was released on Dec. 4, topped the K-pop radar chart in its 50th week (December 6 to December 12) with 33,765,535 views.
This notes the massive fame of the 23-member group, which entered the top 10 of the ranking immediately, the day after releasing the music video. NCT's MV drew attention this week, showing a huge leap at the ranking.
According to K-Pop Radar, NCT 2020's music video for their whole group track "RESONANCE" surpassed 5 million views in 10 hours following NCT U's "Make A Wish," showcasing their skyrocketing popularity.
This record also proved the group's path to becoming a 'K-pop powerhouse,' surpassing 10 million views in a day, for a group who just debuted in 2018.
In addition to this, K-pop radar said, "NCT 2020's "RESONANCE" MV surpassed 45 million views in just 209 hours. Considering that it took 893 days for the performance MV of "Black On Black" released by NCT 2018 to achieve the corresponding number of views, it is 102.5 times faster than two years ago."
