K-Pop Chart Battle: Stray Kids, Taemin, MONSTA X & RESCENE Rule September

Circle Chart just dropped its latest monthly and weekly rankings, and the leaderboard reads like a comeback season highlight reel. Stray Kids muscled two spots into the August album chart’s top five with THIS & THAT, while SHINee’s Taemin pulled off a rare double crown with his solo title track “FLOAT.” Meanwhile, MONSTA X and NCT 127 traded blows across the album and download charts, and viral-hit revivalists RESCENE proved their 2024 song “LOVE ATTACK” still has legs, topping both the digital and streaming charts.

The chart system behind all this, Circle Chart, is South Korea’s official music industry tracker, backed by the Korea Music Content Association — so a No. 1 here genuinely matters.
