Since then, STAYC's "ASAP" has been ranking on Korean music charts including MelOn, one of the major music sites in South Korea. In particular, the song continues to garner attention on MelOn's 24Hits chart, a new chart launched in 2020.
The 24Hits chart replaced the regular real-time chart to keep the listeners updated on the most popular new releases. The rankings change every hour by reflecting the streams (40%) and downloads (60%) over the last 24 hours.
In addition, MelOn's 24Hits chart shows songs that are steadily enjoying popularity among Korean music fans.
On June 13, STAYC's "ASAP" has reached a new peak on MelOn's 24Hits. The track claimed the No. 8 spot after two days since achieving its first Top 10 entry on the chart on June 11.
This is STAYC's very first single-digit position on MelOn 24Hits, meaning this is their highest ranking on the chart since their debut. Moreover, the female rookie now joins (G)I-DLE, ITZY, and aespa as the only fourth-generation idol groups to enter the Top 10 of the chart.
