The Top 40 J-POP songs - Week 26 of 2026 – Only Hits Japan Charts

This week's J-Pop Top 40 chart sees remarkable stability at the very top, with the top four positions unchanged from last week. REDRED by CORTIS holds the #1 spot for a seventh consecutive week, followed by the enduring hits of King Gnu, XG, and Ado. The most significant movement in the upper tier comes from Yorushika's あぶく, which climbs five spots to land at #5, and Kenshi Yonezu's IRIS OUT, rising three to #6.

Beyond the top 10, the chart exhibits more dynamic shifts. Kenshi Yonezu makes another impact with a high-profile new entry at #14, 烏 - Raven. POLKADOT STINGRAY's 逆様 also makes a notable six-place jump to #13. Meanwhile, several tracks experienced significant drops: natori's ポルターガイスト falls fifteen places to #21, and IVE's JIGSAW plummets seventeen spots to land at #40.

The lower half of the chart is defined by re-entries and steady climbers. AiNA THE END's 革命道中 - On The Way makes a strong return at #31, joined by ILLIT's Bubee at #37 and Hitsujibungaku's Dogs at #39. Hikaru Utada's パッパパラダイス surges eleven places to #27, while natori also debuts a new track, Puppet, at #28. Overall, the chart this week is a mix of entrenched leaders and mid-tier volatility. While the summit remains firmly locked down, the movement below indicates active listener engagement with both new releases and resurgent catalog tracks. The detailed chart data follows below.
