The group QWER (Chudan, Magenta, Hina, Siyen) was selected as the number 1 weekly artist on the “FAVORITE CHART FOR THE 3RD WEEK OF MAY”.
According to the voting results for the 3rd week of May on “BUGS FAVORITE”, a K-POP voting service created by the media outlet JoongAng Ilbo in collaboration with Bugs, QWER clinched the weekly first place.
This Favorite weekly ranking for the 3rd week of May was conducted by targeting artists who had integrated the TOP 100 of the Bugs music chart the previous week. The calculation method combines 20% of Bugs streaming data and 80% of fan votes. During this vote, QWER obtained 4,221 fan votes and 0.3% of streaming, gathering a total support of 23.5% to rise to the weekly first place.
Next, NMIXX accessed the monthly ranking by obtaining a total support of 12.9% with 2,228 fan votes and 0.7% of streaming, while third place went to DAY6 who inscribed its name with a total support of 9.2% thanks to 1,503 fan votes and 1% of streaming.
QWER recently broke its own sales record by exceeding 110,000 copies sold in the first week with its 4th mini-album. This new work is characterized by an attempt at a musical change, with the members having increased their share of participation in the creation of the tracks. QWER, which recently completed its stage at the Spotify Music Festival, is preparing to perform at the “PEAK FESTIVAL 2026”, a national music festival that will be held on May 23, thus pursuing a journey that leads both television activities and offline concert stages on front.
QWER, having reached the first place of the weekly ranking, receives as a reward the publication of an exclusive digital article as well as an automatic access ticket among the candidates for the “MONTHLY RANKING”. If the group snatches the final first place of the monthly ranking, it will receive a large-scale reward: the broadcasting for two weeks of a promotional video of the artist on the ‘Townboard’, an elevator screen advertising network covering the metropolitan area and provinces.
Furthermore, a new vote for the Favorite weekly ranking starts every Tuesday at 10 AM. The voting takes place for 7 days until the following Monday at 10 AM.
