INI’s ‘Present’ Hits No. 1 as RADWIMPS Tributes Dominate Top 10 on Japan Hot 100

INI’s “Present” soars to No. 1. on this week’s Billboard Japan Hot 100, on the chart dated Nov. 26, halting Kenshi Yonezu’s nine-week reign over the tally.

“Present” serves as the lead track off INI’s new single THE WINTER MAGIC, released Nov. 19. The CD launched with 1,213,001 copies to become the eleven-member boy band’s first million seller, and moved 15,230 downloads to rule the metric. It also hits No. 2 for radio airplay, No. 44 for streaming, and No. 80 for video views. The group earns its fifth No. 1 hit with “Present,” following “CALL 119,” “Password,” “LOUD,” and “WMDA (Where My Drums At).”

Kenshi Yonezu’s “IRIS OUT” slips to No. 2 after dominating the Japan Hot 100 for the past nine weeks. Though it falls a notch on the list, the Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc theme continues to hold atop the streaming and video tallies for the tenth straight week since its debut, and extends its streak on karaoke to seven weeks.

Four tracks from the RADWIMPS tribute album Dear Jubilee -RADWIMPS TRIBUTE- land inside the top 10: Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s “Kyoshinsho” at No. 4, Vaundy’s “Zenzenzense” at No. 5, Kenshi Yonezu’s “Tremolo” at No. 6, and My Hair is Bad’s “Iindesuka?” at No. 7. 13 of the album’s 14 tracks have entered the chart. The original songs by the band are also resurging, with titles such as “Sokkenai,” “Kaishin no Ichigeki,” “Kyoshinsho,” and “Iindesuka?” rising primarily on streaming.

Meanwhile, Gen Hoshino’s “Ikidomari” jumps 22-8 this week, boosted by radio (up 773% from last week) and streaming (up 142%).

The Billboard Japan Hot 100 combines physical and digital sales, audio streams, radio airplay, video views and karaoke data.
