K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM is once again proving their global power, this time dominating U.S. CD sales charts.
🎶 Only K-pop Girl Group in the U.S. Top 10 CD Albums
According to entertainment data company Luminate's "2025 Midyear Music Report" released on July 17 (KST), LE SSERAFIM's fifth mini album HOT ranked No. 9 on the "U.S. Top 10 CD Albums" list. The album sold 73,000 copies in the U.S. alone.
LE SSERAFIM is the only K-pop girl group to appear on this year's chart. Among Korean artists overall, they join top-tier acts like Stray Kids, ENHYPEN, ATEEZ, and SEVENTEEN in the upper ranks — further solidifying their influence in the American market.
💿 About the Album 'HOT'
Released in March 2025, HOT embodies LE SSERAFIM's signature fearless energy. The album includes five tracks, including the title track "HOT," which celebrates diving headfirst into what you love.
The album also made waves on Billboard, debuting at No. 9 on the Billboard 200, making it their fourth consecutive top 10 album in the U.S.
🌍 LE SSERAFIM's Global Rise Continues
Last year, the group made history by ranking the highest among K-pop groups on the "Luminate Index," a data-based indicator of rising popularity in the global music scene.
Their momentum isn't slowing down anytime soon — LE SSERAFIM is currently on a world tour and will kick off their North American leg this September, meeting fans across the continent.
