The Top 40 J-POP songs - Week 41 of 2024 – OnlyHit Japan Charts

This week, the music chart sees a significant shake-up as "オトノケ (Otonoke)" by Creepy Nuts debuts at number one, knocking their previous chart champion "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born" down to the second spot after an impressive eighteen-week run. King Gnu's "SPECIALZ" makes a notable upward move, climbing to third place from last week's fifth, showing renewed audience preference. Other notable upward movements in the top ten include YOASOBI's "アイドル," which rises from ninth to seventh, challenging the consistency of long-standing hits like "RATATATA" by BABYMETAL and XG, which remain in and around their positions from last week.

New entries adding fresh energy to the chart include ONE OK ROCK's "Delusion:All" landing at 22 and Shinsei Kamattechan with "Boku no Sensou" entering at 35. YOASOBI also sees another entry with "モノトーン" appearing at number 36, indicating their growing influence across varied musical landscapes. Meanwhile, songs such as "Burning" by Hitsujibungaku and "オレンジ" by SPYAIR show significant progress, climbing from positions 34 to 28 and 35 to 29, respectively.

The lower half of the chart remains relatively stable, with Mrs. GREEN APPLE's "ライラック" and Ado's "RuLe" both moving up slightly, suggesting consistent audience engagement with these tracks. Ikimonogakari's "熱情のスペクトラム" slips a little this week, revealing the competitive nature of the list. Closing out the top 40, LiSA's "紅蓮華" remains firmly in place at number 40, maintaining its presence despite the influx of new tracks. This week's movements reflect a dynamic shift in listener preferences, as new tracks debut and existing ones continue to battle for supremacy. OnlyHit listeners can look forward to next week’s chart for further developments in this constantly evolving musical landscape.
