XG Hits Career Milestone with 20 Weeks on Billboard Japan Hot 100
Global girl group XG is showing no signs of slowing down. Their smash single “IS THIS LOVE” just made history by staying on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 for a record-breaking 20 consecutive weeks—marking the group’s longest run on the chart to date.
Spotify Streams Soar Past 50 Million
Adding to their bragging rights, the track has now surpassed 50 million streams on Spotify, cementing its position as a long-term fan favorite. And that’s not all—its music video has racked up over 20 million views, proving XG’s viral power transcends platforms.
Live Performance at Tokyo Dome Wins Hearts
A particularly emotional live version of “IS THIS LOVE,” performed during XG’s sold-out show at Tokyo Dome—the final stop of their first-ever world tour—has deeply resonated with fans. Every note seemed to echo the journey of a rising group claiming their space on the world stage.
XG’s Rise Goes Global: From Japan to Coachella
Back in March, the song cracked multiple global viral charts: it landed at No. 9 on Japan’s Spotify Viral Songs, No. 2 on YouTube Japan Trending, and even appeared on the trending lists in Canada and the U.S. This cross-cultural appeal is putting XG in a league of their own.
Now, they’re gearing up for even more global exposure—headlining a-nation 2025 on August 30 and hitting the stage at the iconic Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. From Tokyo to Indio, XG’s world domination tour isn’t hitting pause anytime soon.
What Makes XG So Magnetic?
Fronted by seven members—Jurin, Chisa, Hinata, Harvey, Juria, Maya, and Cocona—this multinational group has carved a niche where tight choreography meets genre-blending pop. They’re a product of Japan-based label XGALX, yet their slick sound and global strategy scream ‘world-class.’
With “IS THIS LOVE” turning into a long-haul hit and eyes on XG’s next move, one question remains: Are we witnessing the birth of K-pop’s next global powerhouse?
