Breaking Barriers on British Soil
On October 31, the UK Official Charts—Britain’s equivalent to Billboard—confirmed that “SPAGHETTI” landed at No. 46. This isn’t just another chart entry; it obliterates LE SSERAFIM’s previous UK record set by “CRAZY,” which peaked at No. 83 in 2024.
The jump from No. 83 to No. 46 represents a massive 37-position improvement, signaling LE SSERAFIM’s growing international appeal. The UK market, notoriously tough for non-English acts to crack, has officially embraced the fearless quintet.
The j-hope Effect: A Collaboration That Clicks
Featuring BTS’s j-hope wasn’t just strategic—it was explosive. The collaboration blends LE SSERAFIM’s signature bold energy with j-hope’s dynamic rap flow, creating a track that transcends typical K-pop formulas. His involvement undoubtedly amplified visibility, but LE SSERAFIM’s growing fanbase (affectionately called FEARNOTs) deserves equal credit for streaming tirelessly.
J-hope, currently fulfilling military service, continues impacting charts even while away from active promotion. His feature on “SPAGHETTI” demonstrates his lasting influence and willingness to support rising artists under the HYBE umbrella.
Spotify Success: Global Domination Mode Activated
The UK chart success mirrors LE SSERAFIM’s Spotify explosion. “SPAGHETTI” debuted at No. 25 on Spotify’s Global Top Songs chart with a staggering 16.8 million streams in its first tracking week (October 24-30). These numbers surpass all previous LE SSERAFIM releases, establishing new personal records across multiple metrics.
For context, breaking Spotify’s Global Top 25 places them alongside mainstream Western artists—a territory few K-pop acts occupy consistently. This achievement solidifies their status as genuine global contenders, not just regional favorites.
LE SSERAFIM’s Meteoric Rise
Since debuting in 2022 under Source Music (a HYBE subsidiary), LE SSERAFIM has consistently pushed boundaries. The five-member group—Sakura, Kim Chaewon, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae—has carved a distinct identity centered on fearless confidence and genre-defying music.
Their discography evolution tells a compelling story:
- “FEARLESS” (2022): Bold debut establishing their “anti-fragile” concept
- “ANTIFRAGILE” (2022): Strengthened their fierce image
- “UNFORGIVEN” (2023): Western-inspired sound expansion
- “CRAZY” (2024): Experimental production that tested UK waters
- “SPAGHETTI” (2025): Collaboration that broke the Top 50 ceiling
Each release builds momentum, culminating in this historic UK chart breakthrough.
What This Means for K-Pop’s Fourth Generation
LE SSERAFIM’s achievement signals fourth-generation K-pop’s arrival on the global main stage. While third-generation groups like BTS and BLACKPINK paved the way, fourth-gen acts are now claiming their own territories. LE SSERAFIM joins NewJeans, aespa, and IVE as groups proving K-pop’s staying power extends beyond its initial pioneers.
The UK market, with its rich musical heritage and discerning tastes, serves as a crucial validation point. Cracking the Top 50 opens doors for radio play, festival bookings, and broader mainstream recognition across Europe.
What’s Next for the Fearless Fivesome?
With “SPAGHETTI” still climbing playlists worldwide, LE SSERAFIM shows no signs of slowing. Fans anticipate a full album following this single’s success, potentially featuring more high-profile collaborations. The group’s upcoming tour dates and award show performances will further capitalize on this momentum.
