'Fifty Fifty' ranked 85th with "Cupid” on Billboard




"Fifty Fifty" is a Korean girl group formed by the company "Attrakt". It is composed of four members: 'Keena', 'Saena', 'Sio' and 'Aran'. They officially debuted on November 18, 2022 with the single "Higher" from their first EP titled "The Fifty". Their single "Cupid" made 'Fifty Fifty' the fastest growing K-Pop group on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

 

A rookie K-pop girl group, 'Fifty Fifty' with less than five months since its debut has stayed for three consecutive weeks on the U.S. Billboard's Hot 100 songs chart.

 

'Fifty Fifty' ranked 85th with its single "Cupid" on the latest chart updated Wednesday, rising nine spots from 94th a week ago, after debuting at No. 100 two weeks ago and entered the charts in the fastest time after launching among K-pop groups.

 

It took only 135 days for the quartet, which debuted in November, to first enter the chart. The period is faster than any other K-pop groups that have been on the U.S. Billboard chart.

 

During a press conference held in Seoul on Thursday, the quartet said "it had never expected that kind of thing would happen".

 

"Actually, I still cannot believe it and appreciate it very much", band leader 'Saena' said. "We have always thought about how to send our positive energy to listeners since we were trainees and I cautiously assume such an effort worked".

 

The song also rose to No. 61 on the British Official Singles Chart Top 100 unveiled last Friday, from 96th in its first week on the chart and landed at No. 7 on Spotify's Daily Top Song Global on Tuesday.

 

"Cupid" is the main track off Fifty Fifty's first single album, "The Beginning: Cupid" released Feb. 24.

 

What makes Fifty Fifty's achievement more surprising is the fact that the group is managed by a minor K-pop agency. The agency is 'Attrakt', a newcomer label established in 2021 and ‘Fifty Fifty’ was the first idol group launched by it.
