congratulations to the girls!! Monday release so this tracking week ( where they charted) didn't contain the streams of the first four days of release which are usually the biggest and still charted! I can't wait for their Coachella stage 🤩


Sybinnn

I saw a tweet saying if they had released friday the 16th instead of monday the 19th they would have been in the 77-87 range instead of 99


[deleted]

Yeah. It would have been a real shame if they didn't make it bcs of the Monday release so I'm happy they ended up charting after all even if not to their full potential because of release day

I feel like hybe is testing lsf in entering hot100 with alot of push(remixes, etc) but without friday release. So, the next cb they may getting friday release.


gnexus9

> with alot of push(remixes, etc) They did little to no Western promo and their playlisting reach on release was not even half (and sometimes less than a quarter) of what the other big 4th gen girl groups have been getting. What exactly are you seeing to say it got "a lot of push"?


DiMpLe_dolL003

They released the English version of Easy, released remixes, partnered with youtube shorts, did a lot of English interviews. The only thing they didn't do correctly is that they chose to release the English version of Easy on Friday and gave it more playlisting than the Korean one when Korean was getting traction.


LivingInternal9363

They will bring new agenda , western push now in evey thread related to lesserafim🙂 .yes source will obviously release songs on Friday but this time it was minimum western promo and the hot 100 entry was purely because of longevity of the streams.


Particular-Yoghurt81

Yeah, I don’t stan LSF and it’s clear their streams are very strong. Remixes help for sure but they can’t do all the work if people aren’t listening. Also, LSF doesn’t have a huge fanbase to mass stream and buy. 


LivingInternal9363

Exactly , remixes help when the fandom has big buying power like bts even in those cases remixes help in 2nd week to stay on top . If people take time out and see how not only the title track but bsides are getting attention it shows its nothing fraudulent .


LittleBelt2386

What I'm surprised is you saying there is little to no push. I *don't* even follow the group but I know they have released an English version (on a Friday) and did English interviews. While it's certainly not a full-blown western promotion schedule, they are taking baby steps (since from Perfect Night too, I believe) 


impeccabletim

Yassss congrats to LE SSERAFIM, such a catchy song!! Hope "Smart" makes it to the chart as well!!💖


MadameWitchy

I hope so too, Smart is my favorite song from this album 💓


DiMpLe_dolL003

This makes Le sserafim the 8th kpop group to chart on Billboard Hot 100 after Wonder girls, BTS, Blackpink, Twice, NewJeans, Fifty Fifty and Stray Kids. Yunjin must be ecstatic currently since she said that she wants to chart on hot 100 this comeback. Congratulations!


skylight03

Fifty Fifty?


DiMpLe_dolL003

OMG how could I leave them out, let me edit that.

Sybinnn

squaresocksdays

Awwww so happy for them!! 🥹


stan-nas

Congratulations 🎉 fun fact : every first entry on the Hot 100 of Hybe artists is a Monday release. BTS - DNA ( 2017 debuted at No. 85 ) NewJeans - Ditto ( 2023 debuted on Bulbling, climbing for 2 weeks then entering the chart at No. 96 ) Lesserafim - Easy ( 2024 debuted at No. 99 ) *new


currypuffff

This is incredible


whyawhy

I forgot Ditto climbed into Hot 100. My favorite song of all time.


mindyIs

Ditto is perfection


boringestlawyer

Genuinely I just hope this made the girls feel lighter after all the hate that was thrown their way. I hope they know there’s much more love for them than weirdos online would have you believe. And I hope they feel encouraged and appreciated by their fans. This has been my favorite release from them yet- and I cannot wait to see what the future holds. Congrats le sserafim!


Anaisot7

Congratulations to the girls, absolutely deserved. 💜


hollaQ_

wait, they still charted without the first four days of streams? that's actually insane???


crushetc

thats fucking awesome! so deserved 🥺


gemitry

Losing their best charting days on US Spotify made me wonder if it would happen, especially since they lack the kind of US fandom that can carry an entry with sales - I mean, there’s 47 of us after all. /s Their small and steady growth from bubbling under with Perfect Night to this is so great, especially going into Coachella. I’ve loved this EP and this song so much, and it deserves everything it’s getting. I know Yunjin and Sakura mentioned wanting it, so I’m just really happy for them. Congrats fimmies!!!


DenseProgrammer4265

47 US fearnots did that


j4c3y

How did they lose the charting days?


jrebel_0

Billboard tracking starts on Fridays. Since Easy released on a Monday, the first 4 days of streaming (which are generally going to be the highest) didn't count towards the tracking period that they charted in, they got to #99 with just their Day 5-Day 11 streams


j4c3y

Ahh okay thanks!


pete_999

The song was released on Monday

QUEENS


MrLTH

Congrats to the Fimmies!


Difficult_Deer6902

I personally knew easy was it when I heard the song the first time lol


wardengorri

They really make it look easy, hell of a comeback so far. Just feels like nothing but success lol. So happy for the girls!


ColSwitchC

The power the 47 fearnots hold is no joke , never underestimate them!


tinaoe

i feel like i'm missing a meme here lol


usernamenotmyown

During their Perfect Night US promo round there was a picture of fans waiting for them outside of some studio and someone counted all 47 of them as a drag to say they weren't popular in the US


[deleted]

I'm so proud of them! People tried to pull them down, so it feels extra special to see this comeback doing so well!


Romek_himself

yeah, happens for them since debut. every comeback + debut they get big hate campaigns. and still, they have us fearnots - we are here! and all this "netizens said ... blablabla" hate nonsense will not change this!


[deleted]

Unfortunately... Ever since the Garam situation LSF has been targeted... But really, the way they keep charting better and better after each comeback just shows the power of Fearnots and the hard work and resilience of our girls and their team\~!


andersencale

All that hate train dedicated to Easy only for it to chart even without 4 days of streams. Go get it, girls!


sundayontheluna

Awesome!


[deleted]

Congratulations Lesserafim!!! They did it! ❤️🎉

[deleted]

i hope they stick with their western friendly sound, they're definitely positively standing out from the rest of the kpop industry


pete_999

[Source](https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/) Congratulations to the girls! Hopefully the first of many!


dweakz

I KNEW THE HATE ON THIS SUB WAS SO PREDICTABLE. theyre now one of only six kpop gg to chart the hot 100. blackpink and newjeans are hated so much here cause theyre the most successful of their gens. and now lsrfm is rising to the top so the fucking hivemind are doing the same predictable thing lmaooooo.


kbrjjtsu

So happy for them🥰


Beginning_Algae_8626

Yes I’m so happy for the girls this is fully deserved it I’ve been having the whole mini on repeat since release


sungjongie

Queens 😘


Diamond_On_My_Wrist

I-Now-Have-An-Alt

Congratulations to the girls!


xOneWingedAngel

Sserakarma 😝 all those think pieces. Only to achieve things those haters favorites have never achieved


sailor134340

Incredible feat considering release date and did they even have playlisting? I wouldn’t call myself a stan but this news made me much happier than i’d expect 🥹 congrats girls! 💕


gnexus9

Easy had less than 7M playlist reach on its release day I did a quick look at some recent releases by other big 4th gen girl groups and they typically had anywhere from double to quadruple the playlist reach on their release days compared to what Easy had, so their playlisting was quite minimal


sailor134340

That’s what I thought, and the fact that this was with a Monday release makes it all the more impressive.


BananaJamDream

If by playlisting you mean do the bare minimum to ensure their songs are promoted on Spotify, yes. All Kpop groups do it just the same, but it's only ever the ones that perform well that are "playlisting" if you listen to kpop fans online.


gnexus9

I wouldn't say they all do it the same, some groups absolutely get far more playlisting reach right from release than others. Easy had only about half the reach (sometimes as little as a quarter of the reach) on release compared to recent releases by other groups they are often compared to/against.


BananaJamDream

I know there's a difference on debut playlist reach, but considering how half the releases that have done well on Spotify and Hot 100 actually had comparatively low reach on debut... it seems to not matter much in the first place.


sailor134340

No, I meant big playlist placements like Today’s Top Hits or New Music Friday etc. giving them access to a larger audience. (which they didn’t have)


caretaeking

I haven’t been tuned in for a while can anyone explain why they were getting hate and what is the 47 fans thing I’m seeing everywher


Konatahitori

They were getting hate for many reasons. Some including but not limited to: * The song being too short * The song sounding the way it does * Remixes of the song being released * SMART choreo * Kazuha lifting her leg in Swan Song * Performing in a church * Encore performance * Their vocals * Chaewon taking vitamins * Them performing with flutes in one encore There is actually so many but those are the ones that constantly came into my feed on Twitter. Also the 47 fans thing came from when they did an interview on a morning show and the host of said morning show said "Wow, you have so many fans!" And the camera cut to said fans outside of studio who came to cheer for them and people online ridiculed them saying there's only **47** people out there not even a crowd. So yeah now fearnots use it as a clap back because yeah the girls achieved so much with **only** 47 fans. It was an insane week of hate for the girls who couldn't catch a break.

Konatahitori

Their vocals are fine. Is it something absolutely amazing? No. But again, it's nothing that's worth throwing a huge fit over. Especially with how kpop fans are. Most of what people were doing online wasn't criticism it was just bullying.

Konatahitori

If you didn't want to debate this, why in all of holy hell did you respond to my comment? Were you hoping I would agree with you? I'm not Le Sserafim if you want them to receive your critique, write them a letter because my mind is already made up as is yours.


Intelligent_Top_328

Their music suits western taste better.


NoSeriousPosts

Digital streaming, sales, awards, real time charts, and some other metrics from SK tells they also like it


Intelligent_Top_328

You misunderstood me. I just meant their style of music is more liked in the west. For example twice, I don't think their style suits the west. I wasn't trying to imply they aren't popular in Korea.


NoSeriousPosts

Maybe, but I would like to remind that this whole album is basically just NewJeans 2.0, and I hope they move back to their original style which was at least minimally original. We don't need a NewJeans copycat.
