The Top 40 J-POP songs - Week 51 of 2024 – OnlyHit Japan Charts

In this week's top 40 chart, Creepy Nuts maintain their grip on the top two spots with "オトノケ - Otonoke" and "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born," both holding steady in first and second positions. The notable new entry is "Take Me to the Beach" by Imagine Dragons and Ado, which debut impressively at number three. Meanwhile, "It's Going Down Now" and "SPECIALZ" remain unmoved at fourth and fifth, respectively, rounding out the top five.

YOASOBI's "アイドル" climbs two places to number six, while Fujii Kaze's "Shinunoga E-Wa" and Kenshi Yonezu's "KICK BACK" also see upward movement. "WOKE UP" by XG rises to ninth place, pushing "HOWLING" by XG down to the tenth spot. Eve's "Kaikai Kitan" jumps four spots to claim the eleventh position, displaying a solid gain this week.

Ado's presence is strong with "Usseewa" making a five-position leap to rank at number twenty, and "Episode X" debuts at twenty-nine. Other noteworthy changes include "Azalea" by Kenshi Yonezu, which ascends six places to thirty-two, and "シカ色デイズ" climbing to thirty-three. Conversely, "UNDEAD" by YOASOBI and Tatsuya Kitani's collaboration slightly dip as newer hits gain traction. As we observe these shifts, the mix of debuts and steady performers suggests a dynamic landscape. Returning entries and climbing tracks indicate rising interest, while songs like "踊り子" by Vaundy and "Overdose" by natori hint at consistent background momentum, contrasting with entries like RuLe by Ado that faced challenges maintaining higher positions. Stay tuned for next week to see if Creepy Nuts can sustain their dominance or if the new entrants can shake up the rankings.
