The Top 40 K-POP songs - Week 15 of 2026 – Only Hits K-Pop Charts

Here’s your weekly look at the K-Pop Top 40.

This week’s chart is defined by a major climb and a change at the top. YENA’s “Catch Catch” rises one spot to claim #1, while BTS sees a remarkable jump for “Hooligan,” which ascends from #16 to #5. New entries are strong, led by Stray Kids' “STAY” debuting directly at #6. The most significant drop belongs to BTS’s former #1, “SWIM,” which falls 32 spots to land at #33.

Beyond the summit, upward movement is consistent. YUNA’s “Ice Cream” climbs to #3, and BTS continues its strong showing as “Body to Body” and “NORMAL” also rise. The week’s biggest surge is LE SSERAFIM and j-hope’s “SPAGHETTI,” leaping from #36 to #22. Other notable debuts include IRENE’s “Biggest Fan” at #12 and two more new entries in the top 20.

Several established hits are facing downward pressure. ILLIT’s long-running “NOT CUTE ANYMORE” holds at #7, but former top contenders like BTS’s “Merry Go Round” and IVE’s “BANG BANG” have slipped. The chart also welcomes strategic re-entries, with Hearts2Hearts' “FOCUS” and TWICE’s “THIS IS FOR” returning at #26 and #35, respectively. The lower half of the chart shows notable declines for recent high performers like Stray Kids' “Endless Sun” and P1Harmony’s “UNIQUE.” Meanwhile, NCT DREAM’s “Beat It Up” makes a sizable gain from #39 to #30. The overall activity points to a highly competitive field as new releases and resurgent tracks challenge the established order.
