The Top 40 J-POP songs - Week 22 of 2026 – Only Hits Japan Charts

This week’s J-Pop chart is anchored by a familiar champion: CORTIS’s REDRED holds at number one for a third consecutive week. However, movement just below is significant. King Gnu’s AIZO climbs to number two, trading places with XG’s HYPNOTIZE, which drops to third. The week’s highest-charting new entry is Ado’s Haru Ni Mau, debuting powerfully at number four.

Several tracks posted major gains. Kenshi Yonezu’s IRIS OUT makes a substantial jump from 13 to 6. Tatsuya Kitani’s 火種 rises eight spots to number 9, and ILLIT’s Sunday Morning surges from 33 to 23. In contrast, last week’s number 7, ONE OR EIGHT’s TOKYO DRIFT, experienced a steep fall to 22, and LiSA’s YES dropped from 11 to 28.

Beyond the top ten, the chart welcomes two more notable new entries: Mori Calliope’s 黎明Compass at 29 and IVE’s LUCID DREAM at 33. NAKISO’s Retry Now also makes a re-entry at 40. Ado maintains a strong presence with three tracks in the top 20, while XG has two in the top 15. The data shows a mix of established longevity and fresh momentum. While REDRED continues its reign, the climbs by veterans like Kenshi Yonezu and the immediate impact of new releases from Ado and others indicate a dynamic and competitive landscape heading into next week.
