WOODZ Sets Record On Melon Chart For Longest Run In Top 10

WOODZ (Cho Seung Youn) continues his record-breaking run on Melon’s Top 100!

Last week, WOODZ’s beloved hit “Drowning” reached an impressive milestone on the main chart for Melon, Korea’s largest music streaming service. “Drowning” became the first song ever to spend 70 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of Melon’s Top 100 chart.

As of May 19, “Drowning” has extended that record by spending 71 consecutive weeks in the top 10.

Originally released as a B-side in 2023, “Drowning” went viral in October 2024 after WOODZ performed the song during an “Immortal Songs” Armed Forces Day special while serving in the military. The song’s sudden surge in popularity propelled it to the top of the Korean music charts, and it ultimately ranked No. 1 on the 2025 year-end charts for Melon, Genie, and Circle Chart. The hit song also belatedly earned WOODZ his first music show win on a public broadcast network, claiming two separate wins on SBS’s “Inkigayo.”

Before “Drowning,” the previous records for the most consecutive weeks in the top 10 of Melon’s Top 100 belonged to NewJeans’ “Hype Boy” (49 weeks) and BTS’s “Dynamite” (36 weeks).

Congratulations to WOODZ!

NCT WISH Soars Past 1 Million 1st-Day Sales For 1st Time + Hits Career High On Melon Top 100 With “Ode To Love”

Just one day into their comeback, NCT WISH has already achieved multiple career highs with their new album!

On April 20 at 6 p.m. KST, NCT’s youngest unit made their highly-anticipated comeback with their first full-length album “Ode to Love” and its title track of the same name.

According to Hanteo Chart, “Ode to Love” sold an impressive total of 1,285,184 copies on its first day of sales alone, easily smashing NCT WISH’s previous first-day sales record of 772,917 copies (set by their previous mini album “COLOR” last year).

Not only is “Ode to Love” NCT WISH’s first album to sell over 1 million copies on its first day, but within just one day of sales, it has already managed to come close to the group’s personal first-week sales record of 1,395,217 (also set by “COLOR”).

Meanwhile, NCT WISH’s title track “Ode to Love” reached No. 3 on Melon’s Top 100, marking the group’s highest ranking yet on the chart. As of 11 p.m. KST on April 21, “Ode to Love” had returned to its peak of No. 3, proving itself a stable hit.

“Ode to Love” also hit No. 1 on Melon’s Hot 100 (for songs released within the last 30 days), where it currently remains as of 11 p.m. KST on April 21.

Additionally, all of NCT WISH’s tracks from “Ode to Love” managed to enter major domestic realtime charts like Melon and Bugs.

Outside of Korea, “Ode to Love” reached No. 1 on both QQ Music’s digital album sales chart in China and AWA’s realtime trending chart in Japan.
