XG
The group XG has set a new record on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 by staying on the chart for the longest consecutive period.
XG (Jurin, Chisa, Cocona, Hinata, Maya, Juria, and Harvey) recently marked 20 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 with its song “Is this love.” On the streaming platform Spotify, “Is this love” also surpassed 50 million cumulative streams, confirming its massive impact.
These 20 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 represent XG’s personal record on this chart, once again proving the group’s explosive power. Additionally, the music video for “Is this love” surpassed 20 million views, continuing XG’s impressive streak of success.
Notably, the live performance of “Is this love” at the final concert of their first world tour at Tokyo Dome perfectly captured the emotion of the moment, deeply touching fans worldwide to this day. This lasting popularity, fueled by the live video, also contributes to the song’s longevity on the charts.
Last March, XG had already demonstrated their global success with “Is this love,” reaching #9 on Japan’s Spotify Viral chart, #2 on Japan’s YouTube Trending Videos, #8 in Canada, and #11 in the United States. Since then, the track has maintained enduring popularity, drawing attention to the group’s limitless growth.
After breaking the record for the longest consecutive run on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 with “Is this love,” XG was chosen as the headliner for “a-nation 2025” on August 30. The group also continues its global rise with performances during its first world tour and at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, solidifying their status as a major worldwide act.
