QWER was selected as the number 1 artist of the week for the “FAVORITE CHART OF THE 2nd WEEK OF MAY”.
According to the voting results for the 2nd week of May for the Favorite ranking conducted on “BUGS FAVORITE”, a K-pop voting service created by the JoongAng Ilbo with Bugs, QWER took the weekly first place.
This weekly Favorite ranking for the 2nd week of May was conducted for artists who entered the TOP 100 of the Bugs music chart from the previous week. The calculation method is determined by adding 20% of Bugs streaming data and 80% of fan votes. During this vote, QWER recorded 4,566 fan votes and 0.3% streaming, obtaining a total of 25.2% support and rose to the weekly first place.
Next, TOMORROW X TOGETHER moved into the monthly ranking with 2,537 fan votes and 0.3% streaming for a total of 14.1% support, and in 3rd place, DAY6 inscribed its name with 1,029 fan votes and 1% streaming for a total of 6.6% support.
In particular, QWER proved its rapid growth by once again breaking its own career record with 110,000 copies sold in the first week for its recent 4th mini-album “CEREMONY”. In addition to music show activities, they are pursuing a burning success momentum after their return, by inscribing their names in the lineups of various major festivals, including the “PEAK FESTIVAL 2026” and a large-scale pop-up store recently held in Jamsil.
QWER, which reached the first place in the weekly ranking, receives as a reward the publication of an exclusive digital article as well as an automatic access right as a candidate for the “MONTHLY RANKING”. If they reach the final first place of the monthly ranking, they will receive a major reward consisting of the broadcast of a promotional video of the artist for two weeks on “TOWN BOARD”, an elevator advertisement including the metropolitan area and provinces.
Meanwhile, a new vote for the Favorite weekly ranking begins every Tuesday at 10 a.m. KST. The voting takes place for 7 days until the following Monday at 10 a.m. KST.
